As a UK Extension program affiliated with CEDIK, Greenup Arts’ programs: Breakfast With The Arts and All Eyes On Art are featured in the National Endowment for the Arts Toolkit project led by Dr. Jayoung Koo. The final product will be a research-based publication for Extension agents across the country who want to work in the area of arts and community development. A preliminary presentation was made at the NACDEP (National Association for Community Development Extension Professionals) Conference with plans to unveil the toolkit at next year’s conference.  

Because Arts Extension is not part of every county’s office, ideas and best practices from Kentucky’s program is welcomed by other states. It is the desire of Kentucky Arts Extension that our programming with become more recognized and accepted in our own state as well as other states in order to meet the mission of Extension which is to make a difference in the lives of Kentucky citizens through research-based education.
