37 Arts are among our community’s greatest assets. Whether it’s music, dance, theatre, film, literary or visual arts, the arts teach us, inspire us and make us smile. The Arts and Education Council is a dynamic collaboration of businesses, individuals, and community partners who work to raise funds and enhance the quality of arts experiences throughout the 16-county, bi- state St. Louis region. Since 1963, A&E has raised and distributed more than $100 million, annually funding nearly 70 arts and arts education organizations. A&E also provides office space, state-of-the-art technology, rehearsal and performance space for 18 nonprofit arts organizations in the Centene Center for Arts and Education, an arts incubator located in Grand Center. Your donation to A&E provides essential support the arts need to thrive and grow. Whether you are making a gift for the first time or renewing your membership, your one contribution to A&E keeps art happening throughout our region.
