In 2001, The Oldham County Board of Education purchased the former Crestwood Baptist Church on Floydsburg Road in Crestwood for the purpose of developing the Oldham County Schools Arts Center.  The Arts Center is also home to many community arts organizations, artist residencies, and other partnerships - creating a hub for specialized instruction that capitalizes on the wealth of talent and knowledge coming from Oldham County.

The Oldham County Education Foundation has been instrumental in assisting with the growth and development of the Arts Center's facilities and programs.  These are some highlights of OCEF's support of the Arts Center:
