Current Class Roster
Alumni Roster
NeXt! is a prestigious leadership development program sponsored by the Fund for the Arts for young professionals from some of Louisville’s most prominent businesses. Our goal is to prepare the next generation for volunteer leadership roles in the area of arts and cultural interests with a strategic focus on strong corporate citizenship. The NeXt! generation of Arts champions will be fully prepared to infuse new energy and life into the strong foundation currently supporting our vibrant Arts scene.
Together through the Arts we create a great American city!
Four Pillars of NeXt!
- Education: Monthly educational sessions will be held at various Arts venues during the noon hour. These programs will be led by the Executive Directors and Artistic Directors from Actors Theatre, Kentucky Opera, Louisville Orchestra, Louisville Ballet, Stage One, Louisville Visual Art Association, and all other Fund for the Arts member groups. This up-close and personal experience will include behind-the-scenes tours conducted in a question and answer format.
- Budget & Allocations and Fundraising: The NeXt! members will pair up and be assigned to work in small teams with one of the Fund for the Arts member groups in preparation for the annual Budget & Allocation Hearings. Focus will be placed on the financial aspect of making the Arts organizations successful through strategic fundraising and thoughtful stewardship of all funds raised.
- Leadership: Emphasis will be placed on understanding the role and scope of effective board membership and participation. NeXt! members will have the opportunity to meet with current Arts board members and attend board meetings of select Arts organizations.
- Relationship Building: A dynamic, thriving community gains much of its success from the people who take the time to build lasting relationships. NeXt! members will begin building relationships with one another and with other Arts patrons by attending various Arts performances together throughout the year. Opportunities to attend reception discussions before and/or after performances will prove to be very rewarding!

presents
Launchings
Resolution and Resolve by Alex Schmitz
|
This energetic group of seven young artists is at a formative point in their careers. Each artist presented is developing an individual voice, and as expected, the work is visceral and intuitive. All of the artists have recently finished their Bachelor of Fine Arts and are either enrolled in graduate school or working in their studios, and outside of the academic environment.
As such, it is a challenging period for these young professionals. The seven artists featured in Launchings are off to a strong career start – each demonstrating the passion and talent required for professional success in the visual arts. Launchings is a small exhibit packed with big ideas, powerful images, and a "sneak peek" into the future of visual arts in Kentuckiana.
The Water Tower
Runs through October 5th
