Mini Mart City Park (MMCP) is a nonprofit arts-based community gathering space and pocket park in Seattle, Washington. Built on a former brownfield site, MMCP hosts exhibitions, performances, youth programs, and community gatherings that invite curiosity, learning, and shared stewardship. Through free, year-round programming and artist-led projects, the site continues to evolve as a place shaped by creativity, collaboration, and care for both people and place.

“Our grantees range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue. Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
