The Kentucky Center ArtsReach Dance Studio at Shively City Hall is taught by hip hop instructor Corey Mumpfort. Through the ArtsReach Studio students experience an average of three hours of instruction each week with professional artists. Participants learn new skills, expand their horizons and develop a sense of self, well-being and belonging. As the individual is empowered, the arts simultaneously build and strengthen the community.

When The Kentucky Center opened its doors over 30 years ago, one of its key missions was to bring the arts to the community. Not only by providing a home for the performing arts but also by making the arts accessible to everyone. That’s exactly what ArtsReach does. By serving as a community connection, ArtsReach is nurturing and developing new, young, and diverse artists and audiences. ArtsReach has collaborated with community centers throughout Louisville Metro since 1991. ArtsReach empowers youth in community settings through studio arts instruction in dance, violin, and visual art, residencies with renowned artists, hands-on interactive art workshops, affordable tickets to performances, and the opportunity to perform on the Kentucky Center’s professional stages.
