Our purpose

Our purpose

Our purpose

Bourbon with Heart's (501c3)  mission is to leverage the influence and popularity of Bourbon to raise awareness surrounding Kentucky's art community, provide Kentuckians with better access to first-class arts experiences regardless of age, race, class, gender, or ability -and raise funds for other non-profits.  

Our Passion

Our purpose

Our purpose

Whether it’s dance, design, music, photography, theatre, or crafting a delicious bourbon blend, Bourbon with Heart deeply appreciates art in all its various forms. 


We believe art, like a good glass of bourbon, brings people together and encourages self-expression.


With a strong desire to see the arts culture in Kentucky continue to thrive (and grow), Bourbon with Heart is distilling ART right into the heART of its mission.
