Site Map: National Building Arts Center and NON STNDRD

Crossing east of the Mississippi River, the National Building Arts Center (NBAC), an emerging arts institution housed within a decommissioned steel foundry and home to the embedded art space NON STNDRD, serves as a site for climate-focused commissions. Located within the former Monsanto company town, large-scale artist projects engage the site’s legacy as one of the departure points for the global climate crisis. In this setting, works probe the limits of climate regeneration in a time of crisis, testing long-term remediation strategies and counter ecologies.

Open Fri–Sat, 10 am – 5 pm by appointment only on other days. To book an appointment, email staff@nationalbuildingartscenter.org.
