The Lyric Theatre and Cultural Arts Center, in Lexington’s historic East End, is a landmark of African American arts and culture. Once a key stop on the “Chitlin’ Circuit,” it hosted legends like James Brown, Tina Turner, and B.B. King. Featured in the Green Book, it was a vital refuge for Black artists and audiences. Today, it offers performances, a museum, an art gallery, and event spaces, celebrating African American heritage. Plan your visit to experience its rich history and vibrant community programs.
