"A safe venue for unsafe art"

The Green Door Gallery is an effort of several young artists to create a space where new, exciting voices can be heard. Opened in November of 2000 and currently operated by Héctor Casanova and Renée Laferriere, The Green Door Gallery is an artist-run alternative space dedicated to showcasing young and emerging talent in and beyond the Kansas City Area.

From comics to tattoo art, installation to light sculpture, we provide an alternative venue for artists that question the boundries of the art world, artists who make art whose medium or subject might preclude it from commercial galleries, art that might be considered unorthodox or commercially non-viable, art that challenges preconceptions of art, politics, culture and taste.

In short, we offer a safe venue for artists to show unsafe art.

We are located at 1229 1/2 Union St. in the West Bottoms of Kansas City, Missouri. Our gallery hours, during the duration of a show, are Saturdays from 1-5 pm, and by appointment. Feel free to call us at 816.421.6889, or send us electronic

Sorry, we are booked for the year and are currently not accepting submissions. Please stay tuned for our next call for submissions.
