Founded on the principles of generosity, community-building, and a collaborative spirit, Muse Collective creates opportunities for artists to unite, share their work, and exchange ideas across the Bluegrass region and beyond. Named after the Greco-Roman mythological muses — nine sister goddesses who inspired practitioners of the liberal arts and sciences — Muse Collective embodies an ever-growing network of creatives committed to cultivating and nurturing ideas wherever they may be. Muse Collective was established in 2024 by Lexington-based curators Samantha Simpson and Becky Alley.
