2022 ACA Membership Dues:
2022 ACA Membership Renewal invoices have been sent via email. If your organization has not received an invoice yet, please check your spam folder first. After checking spam, if there is still no invoice please contact Janelle Renee (directoracalouisville@gmail.com). Invoices are sent to each organizational members’ Executive Director.
ACA Board Update:
For the past year, the ACA Board has been reflecting on where ACA is currently as an organization and where we want to go as an organization in order to fully support our arts, culture, and heritage sector. One step in that direction is a change in ACA Board committees. The new committees are:
Membership & Activities: Patti Linn (Chair), Alonzo Ramont (Co-Chair)
Accessibility & Intersectionality: Jerome Baker (Chair)
Education: Andrew Harris (Chair)
Resources & Support: Shannon Wooley (Chair)
Communications: Robert Barry Fleming (Chair)
Impact & Advocacy: Kristian Anderson (Chair), Terri Foster (Lead Youth Advocate)
If you or someone in your organization is interested in serving on an ACA committee, email Janelle Renee who will connect you with the committee chair.

A Word of Thanks:
Thank you to all of our members who have been responding to our calls to action, especially for state level relief funds and advocacy coordinated by the Kentuckians for the Arts. As for Louisville Metro, there hasn't been an RFP released yet that we can respond to but our colleagues at Fund for the Arts are keeping their ears to the ground and as soon as we have an action item, we will be in touch and counting on your participation. Thank you for keeping your eyes open.
Sincerely,
ACA Board
