The Kentucky Arts Council's legislated purpose is to develop and promote a broadly conceived state policy of support for the arts in Kentucky, pursuant to KRS 153.210 to 153.235. As the official state arts agency, the Kentucky Arts Council (KAC) is the sole Kentucky state agency designated to receive partnership funding from the National Endowment for the Arts for any programs related to the arts. All of the KAC's programs, services, initiatives, events and activities support its mission to "create opportunities for the people of Kentucky to value, participate in, and benefit from the arts".

The Kentucky Arts Council manages a multitude of programs, activities and services for the Commonwealth by working in partnership with arts organizations, educational facilities, communities, local government, and individual artists. The work of the KAC encourages the growth and stability of the arts across the state, the promotion of cultural tourism and economic development, the enhancement of quality of life in Kentucky, and the provision of strong arts education programs.
