Our mission

Lee’s Summit Creates is a grassroots nonprofit driving regional excitement and participation in the local arts community. We are an active advocate for artists, art organizations and art lovers, building a regional destination for creative expression, appreciation and connection.

CREATIVITY MATTERS

The arts — in all their glorious forms — stimulate,
sustain & inspire a community
to dream big and achieve its audacious goals.


Lee’s Summit Creates is dedicated
to encouraging creative expression,
activating local gathering spaces and transforming
the way our community connects by enhancing
quality of life and strengthening the local economy.
