The Louisville Art Association was founded September 11, 1980. The Louisville City Parks and Recreation Department agreed to sponsor the LAA and provide a place for shows and meetings. The circa 1904 red brick Victorian style (now the Louisville Center for the Arts) was used until the Louisville Recreation Center was built and the Senior Center moved to that location. At that time, the Louisville Art Association asked for the building and was granted a joint lease which included office space for the newly founded Arts and Humanities Council appointed by Mayor Herm Fauson. The building was then named the Louisville Center for the Arts and was to be all inclusive of all the art groups using the building. The Louisville Center for the Arts building was renovated in 1997 during the term of Mayor Tom Davidson. The cupola was added in 2004, during the term of Mayor Chuck Sisk, thus completing the renovation. It is now one of the most outstanding fine-art and performing art centers in the area.
