Our purpose is to present literary, visual and performing arts in Nicholas County and to assist in supporting a place for the literary, visual and performing arts. Since our beginning in January 1992, Ivy & Stone has actively promoted the arts in Nicholas County. Created to entertain, enhance and educate through the arts, Ivy & Stone has provided a venue in which local artists and visiting professionals may showcase their talents. As we approach the fifteenth year, we are encouraged by the enthusiasm generated by our programming. We have reached an audience of nearly 61,000 having presented: 46 musical concerts |

From Bach to Bluegrass in the performing arts; from a child's drawing to stone sculpture in the visual arts, and from poetry to a finished theatre script in the literary arts, Ivy & Stone has the passion to offer quality cultural events that can be experienced without leaving home. These are programs that not only enhance our community, but put us on a more equal footing with more metropolitan areas. Our efforts have not only delivered public performances, but school programs as well. Over 55,000 children at the elementary, junior high, and high school levels in our community have enjoyed and learned about the arts and themselves by being exposed to "live" performers. Families can be inspired and touched by the talents of exceptional artists.
