COMMUNITY ARTS STL

CommUNITY Arts STL is an organization with a mission to cultivate community at the intersection of art and public health to inspire intentional and creative living. We envision a Saint Louis where social, mental, and physical well-being are nurtured through accessible artistic experiences. CommUNITY Arts STL believes in the healing and transformational power of the arts, and the arts should be accessible to all.

Our organization serves the community through two programs, CommUNITY Arts Bus (CAB) and Collective Motion. CAB provides financial and transportation scholarships to underserved youth in Saint Louis city and county to arts education and life-skill building resources. CAB was developed to remove financial and transportation barriers to after-school arts education for at-risk youth through partnerships with local arts organizations with available financial scholarships. Currently, CAB kids may choose between three local education pARTners Central Studio Academy, LitShop, or Pianos for People for their evening education.

Collective Motion is made of performing artists who create interactive experiences that educate and inspire all ages. The multimedia productions incorporate dance, poetry, visual arts, musical performances and media arts. Production experiences aim to inspire positive decision making through storytelling on the stage or in interactive gallery formats
