Over the past 10 years G-CADDs volunteer-led team (with support of the city and our neighboring communities) has worked tirelessly to create a campus of creative spaces and native gardens by rebuilding and transforming an entire block of what were once vacant buildings on State Street in Granite City, IL. We have exhibited more than 100 local artists, served as a space for multiple artist run projects, and have hosted various concerts, readings, and experimental events.

As we approach our 10 year anniversary, we are hoping to raise enough capital to complete the build-out of our remaining exhibition spaces, fully realize our network of gardens and address other issues related to our infrastructure.

This year, G-CADD has been generously awarded a $25,000 grant by the William A. Kerr Foundation and $2,500 from the Illinois Arts Council. These awards have supported both our exhibitions programming and the continued buildout of our spaces. While our longterm goal is to raise $75,000, this will be the first stage of our fundraising efforts.*

With your support we can continue providing a space that offers artists, musicians and other creatives an opportunity to execute and exhibit projects in an alternative environment. While there is no amount too small, please consider joining one of the levels below when donating!
