Established in 1995, Grand Arts is a not-for-profit
contemporary art project space and studio located in
Kansas City, Missouri.

Grand Arts solicits proposals for new work specifically
designed to utilize our space and resources. A successful
project proposal will be one which challenges the artist in
some way, allowing for risk taking and artistic growth.

If you would like to assist Grand Arts in its mission,
donations are gratefully accepted.
