The Saint Louis Art Museum collects, presents, interprets, and conserves works of art of the highest quality across time and cultures; educates, inspires discovery, and elevates the human spirit; preserves a legacy of artistic achievement for the people of St. Louis and the world; and engages, includes, and represents the full diversity of the St. Louis community supporting it. The Saint Louis Art Museum was founded in 1879, at the close of a decade that saw the establishment of art museums in great cities across the eastern half of the United States. What began as a collection of assorted plaster casts, electrotype reproductions, and other examples of good design in various media rapidly gave way to a great and varied collection of original works of art spanning five millennia and six continents. Today the quality and breadth of the Museum’s collection secure for it a place among the very best institutions of its kind.

Schlafly Beer - The Saint Louis Brewery™ is proud to be MO's largest locally owned independent brewery; brewing over 70 styles of craft beer each year. When we opened our doors in 1991 we had no business plan but we did have a vision: To make great beer and great food and try to have fun doing it. Twenty-plus years on, our business plan is still almost as simple as our original vision: To make a wide variety of great beers, sell as much as we can in our local market, and throw great parties. We are first and foremost a local brewery selling within roughly a 300 mile radius from the breweries. This gets our trucks there and back in a day, keeps the beer at its freshest and creates minimum carbon footprint. For now, Schlafly Beer is available in Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, and Washington DC.

Established in 1964, Craft Alliance provides inspiration and education in contemporary craft to a national community of artists, collectors, students and the art-viewing public. It does this through every creative stage by exhibiting artists' work, educating all levels of students, encouraging art collectors and offering free classes and family programs. The organization operated its headquarters location in The University City Loop from 1969-2020, providing exhibition space as well as art studios for the instruction of classes in the craft media. In 2020 the organization relocated to a larger facility in the emerging Delmar Maker District. This allowed the organization to reach a broader city population, increase programming and collaborate with neighboring arts organizations. Craft Alliance is a funded member of the Arts & Education Council of Greater St. Louis and receives support from the Regional Arts Commission, the Missouri Arts Council, individuals, corporations and foundations.
