NeXtGen Board

NeXt! ambassadors who exemplify the Fund for the Arts mission to contribute to the health and well-being of our community by generating resources for, investing in, and supporting our local arts, artists, and arts organizations may choose to continue to serve the program by joining the NeXtGen board. 

Meeting monthly for 10 months of the year, NeXtGen cultivates resources, experiences, and events to connect Louisville’s emerging leaders with its arts and cultural community, inspiring the next generation of philanthropic and cultural leaders.

NeXtGen supports the current NeXt class through mentorship during program days and volunteer experiences throughout the year.
