The mission

What this organization describes

The place where creativity grows

The Living Arts & Science Center provides creative and unique opportunities for exploration and education in the arts and sciences, and has for over 47 years. Since the humble beginnings in 1968 many dedicated teachers and volunteers have made the LASC a trusted creative resource and a stimulating force that makes Central Kentucky a better place. With the opening of our new 11,000 square foot addition in the spring of 2016, the Living Arts & Science Center envisions an environment that transparently and organically represents the arts and sciences not only through the programs that take place within but through the very structure itself.
