About this place

A community art center in Joplin that has operated since 1948, showing rotating exhibitions of work by local, regional, and national artists. Families can visit the galleries to see paintings, sculptures, and installations, browse the gift shop for handmade items and art supplies, or take classes and camps in various artistic mediums. The center also arranges group tours, private tours, and birthday parties. Wheelchair access is available throughout most of the building, and staff can discuss any accessibility needs.

If you are a member here

A membership to George A. Spiva Center for the Arts carries reciprocal admission, so the same card is worth free or discounted entry at other places in these programs.

Reciprocal programs are built for travel and most exclude places close to the one where you hold your membership, so this is worth the most when you are away from home. How reciprocal memberships work
