Louisville Visual Art Association and Children's Fine Art Classes
For 85 years, Children's Fine Art Classes (CFAC) have been the heart and soul of the Louisville Visual Art Association. This year, 28 dedicated art educators will provide studio art instruction for over 750 young artists, ages 8-18. CFAC provides quality instruction, individual recognition and life changing encouragement to visually talented youth - regardless of their economic circumstances - at 32 convenient sites around the Louisville Metro area. Your support directly benefits Children's Fine Art Classes - America's premiere scholarship-based Visual Art education program.

University of Louisville Hite Art Institute and the Mary Spencer Nay Scholarship
Art and education were the touchstones of Louisville native Mary Spencer Nay's life. From her enrollment in the first Children's Fine Art Class in 1925, and throughout her celebrated career - as the first Director of the Art Center Association and as the first full-time faculty member of the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Louisville - to her retirement as a studio artist in Provincetown until her death in 1995. Today, her legacy continues to impact the visual arts through an annual scholarship offered to an incoming freshman art student at the University of Louisville.
