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.

“The Warhol Foundation aims to support the full range of artistic activity in America—from exhibitions at major museums to neighborhood projects by artist collectives. Arts writers, through the range and specialization of their individual interests, touch upon all of this activity—illuminating and interrogating it and bringing it into conversation with the public. Support for artists is not complete without support for the circulation and serious consideration of their ideas. The Arts Writers Grant program keeps artists at the center of cultural dialogue and debate—in our opinion, right where they belong.”
