Every fall the halls of the Carnegie Center transform into a celebration of a classic tale for our Carnegie Classics event. The immersive experience with entertainment, hors d’oeuvres, an open bar, and plenty of surprises, will transport you into the pages of the book. Costumes are encouraged and party goers always rise to the occasion!

On May 2, the FY26 federal budget request called for the elimination of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) and other cultural agencies. In the weeks following, NEA grantees in Kentucky received notifications that their awards had been terminated or withdrawn from consideration. This has affected the Carnegie Center directly.
Free classes for members, Monthly Open Mics, and Black&Lit bookclub.
Author Talks, Poetry Readings, Open Mics, Book Discussions, Family Fun & Learning Nights, and Gallery Exhibitions are all part of our vibrant arts calendar.
