MOVING FORWARD WITH GRATITUDE



The past two weeks have been pretty monumental and our Art Saint Louis community has stepped up in beautiful and meaningful ways. Our deepest gratitude for all of the time, labor and skill that so many staff and volunteers contributed in moving us out of Pine Street and into our holding place inside 2801 Locust, awaiting the moment we can move in to our actual space within the building and set up our new home.

Thank you to these generous individuals for helping with our relocation (as of July 31, 2024):

As those who volunteered have witnessed, the currently-in-progress construction of our new space has delayed our ability to move in on schedule. Our stuff is all on-site, but we are not yet inhabiting our new home. We do have realistic hope that we will be able to complete our move-in process in the next two weeks and are patiently looking forward to reopening Catalyst Coffee Bar in mid-August. The new ASL Gallery will open September 14, with a free reception from 5-7 p.m. for our first juried exhibit, "Memento Mori," featuring works by more than 75 STL regional artists. Stay tuned for more on the show as we approach September.

We’ll continue to keep you updated, most especially when we are able to fully move everything from temporary on-site storage in to our new space. To volunteer, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

To help support ASL's move in a financial way, donations will help cover moving costs and to purchase goods, including new video monitors, supplies, equipment, and furnishings. We are sincerely grateful to everyone who has already contributed time and money towards the relocation. We look forward to sharing our new home with you all soon.

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
TO HELP US MOVE TO MIDTOWN ALLEY



As you hopefully already know, after 11 years at our current location and 40 years in downtown, Art Saint Louis and Catalyst Coffee Bar are relocating. We're so pleased to have this opportunity to relocate and look forward to sharing our new home with you.

Located on the ground floor of The Oakland building at 2801 Locust Street in Midtown Alley—a mere mile northwest of our current location—the new space is currently under construction and we will begin the move-in process mid-July.

Beginning Monday, July 15, we will start closing down the old space and preparing to move. To help make this happen, we are seeking volunteer assistance Mondays through Saturdays beginning July 15 to help move boxes, pedestals, goods from storage in our basement up to the Gallery, to help pack up our Catalyst Coffee Bar, disassemble and catalogue for re-assembly our three portable walls on casters, move furniture, and more. We really rely on your support—so, how can you help?

To volunteer, please contact Executive Director This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. and provide the following info:
    1.    Name
    2.    Phone #
    3.    Email
    4.    Availability dates & times
    5.    Any other assistance that you can provide

To assist with the move financially, we can very much use underwriting of a variety of things for the move and new space, including 3 new video monitors, new cafe tables, and other furnishings. We can also use financial support to cover the cost of renting moving trucks and related supplies. Cash donations are accepted online here. THANK YOU in advance for your support. We look forward to hearing from you.
