Art House 808 is a space dedicated to providing opportunities and support to local artists across all disciplines, ensuring that their talents and creativity are used to inspire and cultivate lasting change in our community. We are here to foster innovation, collaboration, and artistic growth for the good of Grandview, MO. We seek to create a vibrant and inclusive environment that fosters innovation, collaboration, and artistic growth by providing opportunities for artists with varying backgrounds and styles.
Inspiring Creativity in Our Community
Artists need practice. Artists need to learn. Artists need to grow. Artists need Community.
Community-Driven Initiative
Who We Are
Josh Scott is the founder of JHS Pedals, a Kansas City-based company known for its innovative guitar effects pedals. Alice Larson Scott is a writer, director, teacher, and actor based in Kansas City. Together, Joshua and Alice founded Art House 808, a community center for the arts in Grandview, Missouri, where they nurture creativity and support local artists.
We love to create and we love community. After years of wondering what it would be like to open an arts space in our home town, we decided to do it.
Our vision for the future is to create a space that not only nurtures individual creativity but also contributes to the broader revitalization of Grandview. We believe that art has the power to transform communities in a positive and sustainable way.
Join Us
By making art a central part of Grandview’s identity, we hope to attract new businesses, boost local retail, and create a thriving environment where creativity and commerce go hand in hand.
