Formed January 23, 1979, the Spencer Area Arts Council was created to encourage local artists, musicians and art lovers to showcase and present their work. On September 11, 1989, the organization opened at its current location and began operations as Arts on Grand. Arts on Grand is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
Today, Arts on Grand continues to promote and present local artists and musicians, with a mission of enriching the lives of N.W. Iowans through the arts. We offer a variety of classes throughout the year for both children and adults.
Our exhibit gallery hosts a variety of different artists and art. We also offer live music in our gallery from local musicians. A gift shop offers art, books and other items from local and Midwestern artists and authors. Space for group and artist meetings and performances. A resource library of books and videos, including gallery events.
Arts on Grand hosts events throughout the year that include:
* Arts on Grape
* Arts and Crafts Supply Garage Sale
* Backyard Bach and Blues
* Ugly Sweater Party
Collaborative programming with area businesses, schools and other organizations, including:
* Films for the Cinematically Disadvantaged
* Spencer Performing Arts Coalition (SPARC)
* Festival of Trees
Arts on Grand aims to provide a home for all the arts, enhance enjoyment of these arts, encourage artists to develop their talents, and promote the arts in Spencer and surrounding areas.
We aim to do this while we sustain the organization through financial stability based on memberships, sponsorships, fundraisers, grants, donations, and gifts of endowment.
