Creative Spark Gallery
Creative Spark Gallery is an art gallery and studio hub in the Englewood Arts District of Independence, Missouri. Come for a new juried exhibit every month, weekly classes in fine art and writing, and the Third Friday Art Walk with live music and vendors.
Coming in December: Imagine
Our December juried show runs December 12 through January 9. Join us for the reception on Third Friday, December 18, from 6 to 9 pm.
Show your art
We hang a new juried show every month, with cash prizes for First, Second and Honorable Mention. Enter up to three pieces for one entry fee of $10 or $20, depending on the show. Work must be for sale and priced under $1,200, and we do not accept AI-made or AI-altered art. The deadline is the first of each month at midnight.
Accepted work is dropped off on the second Saturday of the month, 11 am to 5 pm, and picked up the following second Saturday. Artists keep 70% of each sale.
Classes and workshops
Drawing and watercolor, paint and sip nights, craft parties, kids’ improv and drama, open mic, poetry and writing for publication. Most classes are a single session and beginners are welcome.

Our building
In the 1940s this building was the headquarters of a motion picture production and distribution company. The room we call the Warhol Space was once the reel room, where film was projected into a viewing room next door.
