What We Do

Merchant St. Art Gallery is a non-profit exhibition space and art studio dedicated to the creative and professional development of artists on the autism spectrum.

We provide the resources, training, and community support needed for our artists to realize their creative potential and make great work.

Get Involved

Merchant St. Art Gallery brings the neuro-divergent and neuro-typical communities of Kankakee, IL together by providing a welcoming space for artists and audiences to mingle, form friendships, and bond over art. No matter where on the spectrum, we have something for you.
