St. Louis ArtWorks

This Friday, July 9, the St. Louis ArtWorks Sale features the work of area young adults, 14-21 years old, hired for six weeks each summer to work part-time as apprentices with some of the region’s most talented artists. Visitors can choose from photographs, drawings, journals, paintings, collages, sculptures and other unique items, created by teen participants, on display at the Adams Park Community Center. Dance and circus performances will be ongoing during the sale.

Created in 1995, St. Louis ArtWorks has served over 700 youth with summer programs in visual, literary and performing arts. In addition to public sales, works by apprentices are commissioned for public and private clients and performed. Definitely not your average summer job, St. Louis ArtWorks is an innovative way for teens to gain life skills, boost self-esteem, and pocket a hard-earned paycheck.

* Nearby Mangrove Restaurant (4270 Manchester Ave., St. Louis, MO, 63110) will also donate a percentage of lunch proceeds on July 9 to St. Louis ArtWorks. Please join Board members and friends for lunch before or after you shop!
