Be Part of Bringing Art to Rural Communities

The Rural Arts Collaborative, a program of the Fayette County Cultural Trust, connects professional artists with rural schools and communities across Fayette, Greene, and Washington Counties.

Your involvement helps expand access to creativity, education, and opportunity—one classroom, one student, and one community at a time.

Support Rural Arts

Your support helps bring professional artists into classrooms and expand programming across our region.

Every contribution makes a difference:

• $25 supports materials for a student

Why It Matters

Rural communities often lack access to arts education and creative opportunities. Through the Rural Arts Collaborative, we are changing that by bringing professional artists directly into classrooms and community spaces.

Together, we are:

• Expanding access to the arts
• Supporting rural schools and educators
• Inspiring creativity and confidence in students
• Strengthening communities through culture
