Art Is Essential 2
About Us
Our Mission
To create substance-free public spaces for everyone to have a place to create, perform, view, buy and sell artwork with zero commission.

Who We Are
Art Is Essential 2 is a group of people getting together to form a 501(c)(3) non-profit. We believe that art is an essential part of being human.
Beyond that, we think that the process of actually making art is a magical one that everyone should experience.
In order to help the people of Grand Rapids Michigan, we set up free pop-up art stations on the street and we're raising money to lease a large building and open an after-hours public art studio and gallery space: the Everyone's An Artist Gallery And Studios.
