Thanks to a disaster relief grant from Iowa Economic Development Authority and Art Council, we're revitalizing our basement alongside the NOBO student group from Spencer Community Schools.

The grant helps us restock with premium supplies for future classes and workshops. Additionally, we're collaborating with a local artist to create new gallery pedestals, replacing those lost in the flooding.

Stay tuned as we rebuild and enhance your Arts on Grand experience!

We are all so excited to share that we have partnered with five students from the Spencer High School No Boundaries (NOBO) program.

NOBO is a student-led, passion-based learning program that partners with local businesses, organizations, and agencies to provide projects that improve community engagement while giving high school juniors and seniors real-world professional experiences.

In our partnership with NOBO on the project "Art is Life," we will be remodeling both the basement and second story to offer more experiences to our community. Follow along on our journey as we bring new life to Arts on Grand!

Celebrating 35 Years of Arts on Grand: A Thank You to Our Community

This year, Arts on Grand is celebrating a monumental milestone — 35 years of bringing art to our community. From our humble beginnings to becoming a beloved nonprofit, we could not have reached this point without the incredible support of volunteers, donors, and artists who have contributed to our mission along the way. As we reflect on this journey, we are deeply grateful for everyone who has helped us make art affordable, accessible, and inclusive to all.

A Heartfelt Thank You
Over the years, countless individuals have volunteered their time, donated resources, and supported our events. You are the backbone of Arts on Grand. Without your unwavering commitment and generosity, we wouldn’t be able to offer the vibrant cultural programs that have become a staple in our community. Whether you’ve volunteered at our gallery openings, helped with educational programs, or contributed to fundraising efforts, you’ve made an impact that has enriched the lives of so many.

To our loyal supporters — your belief in our mission has allowed us to continue to grow, expand, and offer high-quality arts experiences for all. Your support is the reason we can provide free and affordable programming, create a welcoming space for creativity, and continue to make the arts accessible to everyone, regardless of background or financial situation.

Looking Ahead: Our Vision for the Future
As we celebrate these 35 years, we also look forward to the future. The next 35 years hold even more potential for innovation, growth, and transformation within our community. But we can’t do it alone. Arts on Grand has always relied on the generosity and engagement of our community, and as we aim to continue providing affordable and accessible art for everyone, we need your support now more than ever.

We are asking you — whether you’ve been with us for 35 years or are just learning about us today — to consider making a donation to help us carry our mission forward. Your gift will allow us to continue offering a wide range of programs, events, and exhibits that inspire, educate, and enrich. Every dollar helps us create a space where the arts can flourish, and where everyone can experience the transformative power of creativity.

How You Can Help
Donate: Your donation — no matter the size — will make a difference. Help us fund future art exhibits, classes, and outreach programs that bring art to those who need it most.

Volunteer: If you’re looking to get more involved, we welcome volunteers to help with events, programs, and behind-the-scenes activities. Your time and skills are invaluable to us.

Spread the Word: Share our mission with friends and family, and encourage others to get involved. Every new connection strengthens our community and makes our reach even wider.

Join Us in Shaping the Future of the Arts
As we celebrate this special 35th anniversary, we want to thank you once again for your unwavering support. Together, we’ve made the arts an integral part of our community, and together, we can continue to provide art for everyone. Arts on Grand is more than just a gallery — it’s a place for connection, creativity, and expression. We look forward to the next 35 years with your continued support and partnership.

Welcome to Arts on Grand

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
