took my granddaughter and there was very educational exhibits for us to see. We enjoyed looking at the art and sculptures.

We ended up in the art show by default. We where lost. The desk lady not only told us about her own place, but told us about 2 other things we might be interested in. A quilt show and Grand falls. The show in the place was wonderful, diverse in it's medium (ceramics this weekend) and a fun 'default'. One of our funnest stops all weekend, and a wonderful desk lady. Thank you to her and kudos to SPIVA.

Spiva had a powerful showing that portrayed the Joplin tornado in 2011. It had positive imagery, as well as, flashbacks to that horrific day. That exhibit was a way of remembering what we lost, but grateful for what we had. I look forward to all the up coming openings.

Spiva has been with Joplin over 65 years and has incorporated cultural mediums both regionally and nationally. What I love about this fabulous place is the staff and volunteers that run this beautiful venue. Classes are offered for both young to adult. A benefit for visiting these galleries is the availability to experience new art every time the exhibit changes to the next one as well as visiting the gift shop. They always have special events going on and having the perk of both individual as well as business has many advantages. I have had the privilege to meet the gallery artists and take home the cultural experience I cannot get anywhere else. The price is so worth the year-round benefits and it is VERY affordable to be a part of this benchmark in Joplin's development.

Historically and contemporaneously, the visual arts anchor in Joplin. Large range of exhibits and classes for kids. Interactive components, kind staff and volunteers, and a beautiful gift shop carrying local and regional art to purchase (buy local!). It's free and family-friendly, and just downtown near a coffee shop and great local restaurants. Check it out, you won't regret it!
