Arts and Culture Build Social Connection
The St. Louis Arts Chamber is dedicated to accelerating our region’s creative economy. We are creative placemakers, bringing people in underserved neighborhood together to start to re-envision or lift up the history of the place, the beauty of the place, the culture of the place.
At the St. Louis Arts Chamber, we believe that artists have vital insights and tools to offer when it comes to tackling public issues. We have several ongoing programs that bring artists, residents, community organizations, and activists together to improve quality of life in the St. Louis region.
