Humana Foundation Donates $30,000 to Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts

The Kentucky Center for the Performing Arts recently received a $30,000 gift from the Humana Foundation. This grant will be used to support The Kentucky Center's Arts in Healing program, which provides positive arts experiences to those healing from physical and mental health challenges.

"We are truly thankful for the support of the Humana Foundation," said Kentucky Center President Kim Baker. "Grants from generous organizations like Humana make it possible for The Kentucky Center to support those healing from difficult circumstances through the arts."

This grant from the Humana Foundation will help The Kentucky Center expand its Arts in Healing program to reach even more patients recovering from substance abuse, movement disorders and the wounds of war, children facing physical and emotional abuse and abandonment, seniors embracing the end of life, families dealing with homelessness, and patients undergoing cancer treatment. Arts in Healing participants engage in instrumental music, vocal music, storytelling, dance, drama and visual arts - providing a creative outlet for stress and difficult circumstances.
