Us
Summit Art
- Our Mission: is transforming lives and enriching our community through the visual arts.
- Our Vision: is to create an environment for visual artists in which they can exhibit, sell, learn, interact with peers, build inner confidence, and add value to business and community.
- Our Values: are to respect, value and encourage an appreciation for art in an ethical and courteous manner
Founded in 2004, Summit Art is 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. In six short years, guided by our mission, vision and values, we've grown to a membership of 64-juried 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. 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. We belong to the following organizations: Cultural Arts Coalition of Eastern Jackson County, and the Lee's Summit Chamber of Commerce.

Donations and fundraising efforts of our public events contribute to the endowment for the long term upkeep and maintenance of the Longview Arches and Pergola so that these historic structures never again fall into disrepair and neglect. Gale Communities has accepted the management and cost of restoring the Longview Arches and Longview Pergola. Once the restoration is complete and the New Longview community is developed, Gale Communities will transfer the ownership and responsibility for the Arches and Pergola to the New Longview Foundation, assuming the endowment has appropriately grown.
