All of these elements come together one night a year to celebrate the culture of a city and the fight for a cure.

It’s a party with a purpose! We’ll splurge on pizza from the best pizzeria’s in the city, sip on craft beer from local breweries, drink Kentucky bourbon, and dance the night away to raise money that will help bring an end to this awful disease. 100% of the proceeds from this event are donated to local and national cystic fibrosis research efforts.   Learn more......

Blessings in a Backpack 0.5K

The Blessings in a Backpack 0.5k — that’s not a typo, our “race” is in fact 0.5k and affectionately known as The Running Event for the Rest of Us — is created for folks who are NOT ready to go the extra mile. In fact, they aren’t even willing to go a mile at all, and actually barely even a quarter mile... but they are willing to have fun and poke fun at themselves, all while raising money for a great cause — Blessings in a Backpack! This tongue-in-cheek event will not only lampoon the typical 5k, but incorporate an incredible birthday party every step of the way (think cupcakes, balloons, balloon animals!) to celebrate Blessings’ 10th birthday and a decade of feeding kids on the weekends.The race will begin and end with your typical birthday foods and beverages. And at the halfway point, if you’ve burned through all your energy (that's .15 miles in), a cupcake and hydration station will be available for an all important carb reload. There will also be a medical tent... because 546 yards is nothing to take too lightly. All finishers will receive t-shirts, participation ribbons, and ‘pretentious’ oval Euro-style 0.5k stickers, plus promo materials from our all amazing sponsors (that could be you!). There will also be a VIP ticket experience — which gives you the option of hitching a ride to the finish line.SIGN UP NOW!

GRL Hall of Fame Opening Reception

KMAC and Girls Rock Louisville are pleased to announce the Girls Rock Louisville Hall of Fame Project. Together, local mentors, artists, and current and former Girls Rock Louisville campers developed a critical and aesthetic understanding of the contributions of women and non-binary artists in music history. We view rock and roll as a way to forge our own artistic paths over a singular style or genre. The goal of this exhibition is to expand our community’s understanding of the formative roles women and non-binary musicians have played in our musical landscape. It is also a reflection of how these young artists have come to see themselves in music history, and how they will choose to rewrite it. With regard to KMAC's mission to connect people to art and creative practice, this collaboration with Girls Rock Louisville will highlight one of the museum's core values, offering transformative experiences for everyone that spark curiosity, inspire meaningful connections, and foster a deep sense of inclusion, belonging, and purpose. This exhibition is free and open to the public. Learn more.....
