Post Art Library is your PAL for arts-related library stuff! We’re a 501(c)3 not-for-profit that provides arts & cultural library exhibits, programming, resources, and services to Joplin, Missouri and beyond.
Travel back in time with our primary resources, admire the work of local artists in our gallery, check-out our arts magazines, and more.
Although we emphasize information and specialized research, we provide creative arts programming, as well as a flexible space that showcases local established and emerging artists.
Simply stated, we’re on a mission to enrich the community of Joplin by perpetuating Dr. Winfred L. & Elizabeth C. Post’s love of art, architecture, history, and historic preservation. And their love of Joplin.
We're MOVING! We'll be closed May 1, 2017 until we reopen with Joplin Public Library at our new location at 1901 East 20th Street. Save the date for our GRAND OPENING: Saturday, June 3, 9:30pm--we hope to see you there!
We're located inside Joplin Public Library at 300 S Main St. We're currently closed due to our upcoming move. When we reopen, we'll have the hours listed here.
Because we're a not-for-profit, donations to Post Art Library are tax deductible (to the fullest extent of the law). We accept donations by check and Paypal.
We present art exhibitions and display collections inside Joplin Public Library for the benefit of the community. If you'd like to share your art or your collection with us, then let us know!
