Lawrence Percolator

Lawrence Percolator is a nonprofit local art space dedicated to increasing accessibility to the arts.

The original idea, formed in 2007 by a group of artists, architects, writers and others, was to create a more supportive environment for the arts after a string of gallery closings and a slow draining away of artists to regions with more opportunities. There was a recognition that within a formal school environment, artists enjoy an infrastructure of mentors, classes, fellow students, work space a

nd funding. Beyond this familiar cocoon, working artists must find new spaces and supportive communities enabling them to evolve in their practice. The original concept for the Percolator was to fill a niche for working artists in Lawrence while creating a new place for the public to learn about and experience the arts. Importantly, this would be a place where artists and audiences could interact comfortably. Far away from the established urban centers of art and culture, there is a desire for something more active and fulfilling, beyond the typical cultural entertainment fare. The Percolator is our response to this need, in our corner of the world.
