Mission

The Cook Station Arts Collective is a collaborative, non-profit entity which provides space, resources, and opportunities for artistic and cultural exchange. We are an artist-run organization committed to the development of a new standard of accessibility to the arts and academia, skill sharing, and rural community diversification. Through artist-led community service projects, residencies, and alternative exhibitions, CSAC becomes a haven that enriches the lives of artists and the communities we engage.

The Cook Station Arts Collective collaborates with local artists, businesses, and other non-profit organizations to create meaningful programming and help artists in their individual careers, as well as provide enriching experiences for local community members.

The CSAC was founded and is based in Cook Station, MO, located in the Missouri Ozarks.
