What is Small Works?
Small Works is more than a silent auction—it’s a celebration of our creative community and a unique opportunity for artists to make a meaningful impact. Open to Spiva members of all ages, this event allows artists to showcase their talents while directly supporting the arts in our region.
By donating their artwork, participating members help sustain the programs, exhibits, and educational opportunities offered by George A. Spiva Center for the Arts. Their generosity ensures that Spiva remains a vibrant cultural hub for artists and art lovers alike.
For our community, Small Works offers a chance to collect one-of-a-kind pieces created by talented local artists while contributing to a cause that enriches our collective experience. We are deeply grateful to the artists for their creativity and generosity—your contributions inspire and uplift our mission to nurture the arts.

In Support of George A. Spiva Center for the Arts
At Spiva Center for the Arts, we believe art has the power to inspire, connect, and strengthen community. Our mission is to create meaningful opportunities for people of all ages and backgrounds to experience, make, and share art.
Your support helps bring that mission to life. Every gift makes a difference—fueling exhibitions, classes, camps, outreach programs, artist opportunities, and creative experiences that welcome and engage our community.
Our vision is for Spiva to be a vibrant community catalyst—uniting culture, education, business, and the arts to inspire creativity, support artists, and connect people through shared artistic experiences. With your generosity, Spiva can continue building a creative, connected future for Joplin and the region we serve.
