The Oracle Arts Council

To honor and encourage the creative spirit through connection and education for all artists.

Who We Are

The Oracle Arts Council was founded in 2024 on the ideals of connection between artists and the community. What started as an idea to help authors learn the business side of their craft swiftly blossomed into an encompassing, welcoming space for all artists to connect with each other and our community. Members learn how to turn their art into thriving businesses, while our community learns about the many forms of human creativity and are encouraged to invest in our local economy. By forming these relationships, we foster Southcentral Kentucky as a stronger, more vibrant place to live.

What We Do

Members receive many benefits throughout the year, including free business classes, online community and in-person networking to connect with other creatives, and informational networks to benefit from outside learning opportunities and stay abreast of economic changes. We also host regular public events that offer members - and, when available, non-members - the chance to showcase their wares, perform or teach their skills, and connect with our community.

We take community connections seriously: it's about more than selling or performing. We partner with local businesses and non-profit organizations to bring art to our communities through monthly classes (which our members lead), with plans to expand classes to K-12 audiences when resources allow. We also want to be a hub where the community can find the right artists to fulfill any needs that may arise, offering a public listing of our members, opportunities for the public to join our members meetings, and more. As we grow, we hope to expand these partnerships into economic growth opportunities for our region - so that artists and creatives can participate in the exciting movement of the Southcentral Kentucky region.

Support SOKY Creatives

The Oracle Arts Council is committed to bringing life, beauty, and education to our community through the arts, but we cannot do it alone! Each year, we aim to present public workshops led by our member creatives. From how to write your story idea to creating cosplay armor, our members are full of fun, creative projects to get you inspired. We also present two community events full of creative vendors, activities, performances, and more.

But we need your help! To keep these programs affordable, while ensuring that every artist is equitably paid, we need individuals and businesses to sponsor our work. Your donations through the form below help empower our programs and will be recognized at an upcoming workshop or market. For title sponsorship opportunities, please contact info@oracleartscouncil.org
