This is a great place to find the 'out of the ordinary' arts and crafts. By no means will you be seeing what you've seen in every other artsy-fartsy center. The artists here are self-taught (thus 'grassroots') and many are farmers who hone their craft during 'down-time' in the cold winter months. You won't be sorry you visited!

Great enthusiasm of the staff and very unique art. Shows what can happen when someone watches their internal movie and gives concrete expression to it.

I have been going to the Grassroots Art Center ever since I was little and every time I go it seems that they have something new.

The Grassroots Art Center has assembled the works of self- taught artist from across the state of Kansas. Expect the unexpected from outdoor yard environments to interior exhibits created from limestone, wood, metal, pull-tabs, and chewing gum. It's a one-of-a-kind place. Worth the trip!
