It all started…
In 2019, Ground Floor Artists was born from a simple yet powerful idea: to cultivate a space where creativity could bloom and community connections could deepen. We envisioned a hub in the heart of Phoenix's West Valley, a place where local artists could share their talents, and where everyone, regardless of their artistic background, could experience the joy of creation. As a proud 501(c)(3) non-profit, we've poured our hearts into making that vision a reality.
More than just a gallery, Ground Floor Artists is a living, breathing testament to the transformative power of art. Walk through our doors and you'll find handcrafted masterpieces, each telling a unique story of the artist behind it. Participate in our workshops, and you'll discover your own creative potential, guided by experienced local talent. Explore our studio spaces, and you'll witness the passion and dedication that fuels our community.
But our impact extends beyond the walls of our building. We believe that art has the power to heal, inspire, and connect. It's a language that transcends barriers, a force that strengthens communities. Every piece of art sold, every workshop attended, every connection made contributes to a vibrant and thriving West Valley. We're committed to providing accessible art experiences, supporting emerging artists, and fostering a sense of belonging for all.
We invite you to be a part of our story. Whether you're an artist seeking a supportive community, an art enthusiast looking for inspiration, or simply someone who believes in the power of creativity, you'll find a home at Ground Floor Artists. Join us as we continue to celebrate local talent, ignite imaginations, and build a brighter future, one brushstroke at a time.
