The Chanute Art Gallery was formed by a group of women in 1973. This group of women lead by Ellie McCoy worked tirelessly to achieve their vision. After being located in at least two locations downtown, the Gallery found its home at 17 North Lincoln as a part of an extensive downtown renovation project spearheaded by the City of Chanute. The leadership teams combined four buildings into one in the early to mid-1990s. The Gallery is lead by a nine member of active volunteers.
The purpose of the Gallery is to support and encourage the advancement of the arts in Chanute and the surrounding area; to collect, preserve, maintain, and exhibit the collections and works of art therein which are held in thrust for the benefit of Chanute and the surrounding area.
The Gallery is open February though December; Tuesdays though Saturdays from noon to 4:00 pm or by reservations.
No admission fee but donations are gratefully accepted.
