Constance Grayson is an artist and a retired attorney having spent the latter part of her legal cereer as an advocate for children in the foster care system.
She recently started Kids Place Lex, Inc as a not-for-profit organization with a mission to provide free quality art classes for foster care children and at-risk youth in Fayette County and contiguous counties.
These classes are taught by art educators and professional artists.  The goal is to provide activities wherein this youth demographic, who in many cases have suffered from unimaginable trauma and repeated displacement, are able to gain in self-confidence,  learning problem solving and team-building abilities and developing some life skills required for successful adulthood as well as develop an appreciation of the arts.
