About Us
Summit Art
Summit Art was founded in 2004. We are a membership based, non-profit 501(c)(3), organization. Member dues, gallery sales, workshop fees, as well as donations and grants sustain us. A Board of Directors and member elected Officers govern us.
Our mission statement, transforming lives and enriching our community through the visual arts, guides us as we pursue our actions and activities.
We are proud members of the Lee's Summit Chamber of Commerce, and the Cultural Arts Coalition of Eastern Jackson County. We have been cited as a factor supporting the city of Lee's Summit, MO, earning the 2010 Creative Community Award from the Missouri Arts Council.
We are a juried group of more than 80 regional and local artists. These members all travel within a 50-mile radius to participate in our meetings and activities. We are proud to say that we are one of the most active art organizations in the Metropolitan Kansas City area.
In addition to mentoring and promoting artists, we strive to increase business participation and community involvement in the arts through exhibits and public art. We are pleased to award annual scholarships to deserving Lee's Summit R-7 senior art students whom attend Lee's Summit High School, Lee's Summit West High School, Lee's Summit North High School, who pursue an art major in college.
Summit Art welcomes all artists, art students, and the public to become artist or "Friends of Summit Art" members. Together, we expect and anticipate a bright future with a focus on encouraging an appreciation for the value of art in everyone's daily lives.

New Longview Foundation
Following the community legacy of R.A. Long, who built Longview "The World's Most Beautiful Farm" in 1914, the vision of the foundation is to "Enhance and Preserve Superior Architecture, Celebrate the Arts and Enable Healthy Living".
The primary purpose is to manage the long term maintenance of the two, 97 year-old Longview Arches (restored in 2006 by Gale Communities) and the Longview Pergola (currently projected to be restored in 2013 by Gale Communities). Post development these beautiful architecturally significant, public structures would not otherwise have a sustainable source of maintenance capital in 50 or 100+ years.
Donations and fundraising efforts to date have helped grow the endowment to more than $20,000 on the way to the goal of $100,000.
Major fundraising efforts include the annual Longview Art and World Music Festival and the Tour de Lakes Tom Logan Memorial Bike Ride. Several other events and numerous generous donations have contributed to the endowment.
The New Longview Foundation is affiliated with the Eastland Community Foundation, administered by the Greater Kansas City Community Foundation and managed by a board of concerned advocates. To donate or learn more please visit www.newlongviewfoundation.org
Gale Communities
Currently over 6,000 people live, work, play and learn in the Lee's Summit neighborhoods of Winterset, New Longview and Arborwalk. These three, national award winning developments were conceived, planned, built and managed by Gale Communities. The company prides itself on identifying the unique attributes of land and delivering a built-environment that best supports a targeted, sustainable living environment where residents and businesses are proud to locate.
Winterset's national Global ReLeaf New Home Community designation protects over 120 acres of old-growth forest, New Longview's Traditional Neighborhood Design is saving Longview Farm's superior 100 year-old architecture, and Arborwalk's central park and New-Urbanism neighborhood structure are proven examples of leading community design.
Opportunities to expand awareness of the arts, superior architecture and community living are acknowledged and strongly supported by Gale Communities. For more information please visit www.galecommunities.com
