  • St. Louis Street Performers United Voluntary Best Practices Guidelines
    VOLUNTARY BEST PRACTICES GUIDELINES Street performers, also known as buskers, make a valuable contribution to our vibrant urban fabric. We want to encourage street performances while respecting the reasonable expectations of the greater public to enjoy peace and quiet in their homes and the ability of businesses to conduct commerce. These voluntary guidelines seek to balance the interests of performers with those of residents, visitors and businesses. A respectful environment will create more opportunities for local street performers and make the region a welcoming destination for traveling artists. Following a court challenge, the City of St. Louis repealed its overly broad street performer ordinance in October 2013. Elsewhere in the region, other municipalities have not adopted street performer ordinances. So, street performers are free to perform in any public location, although they are subject to other regulations prohibiting disturbing the peace, obstruction of public passageways, aggressive panhandling and intrusive noise. Drafted by an interested group of participating street performers in collaboration with the St. Louis Volunteer Lawyers and Accountants for the Arts (VLAA) and the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri (ACLU), this consensus document is based on the belief that street performers are largely self- regulating. Our common sense “time, place and manner” guidelines are not intended to prohibit or hinder artistic expression, which is protected by the First Amendment. The goal is to ensure that public areas remain safe and useful for their primary purposes while asserting the rights of street performers and other artists. Street performers who want to follow these voluntary guidelines can obtain a free annual St.

  • St. Louis Arts Ecology Report
    Saint Louis Arts Ecology February 8, 2019 PRESENTATION AT THE REGIONAL ARTS COMMISSION ARTS &: NEXT STEPS CONVENING FEBRUARY 8, 2019 Summary The DeVos Institute of Arts Management at the University of Maryland was commissioned by Centene Corporation to study the arts ecology of St. Louis. The goal of the study was to provide guidance to Centene about the needs of the artists and arts organizations in St. Louis. The study examined two cohorts of arts organizations, those larger organizations that receive RAC funding and smaller organizations that receive project support. In-depth interviews and data surveys were performed with 60 organizations from both cohorts. Data for arts organizations in St. Louis were also compared to data from arts organizations in six comparator cities. The interviews focused on key strategic aspects of arts management: artistic planning, marketing (both to increase ticket sales and to engage new donors), fund-raising, board engagement and staffing. 2 Major Conclusions Major conclusions of the study included: - St. Louis has a remarkably large, diverse and productive arts sector that includes a large number of organizations - The largest arts organizations are larger than their counterparts in similar size cities - St. Louis is missing a cadre of mid-sized organizations; most organizations are very large or of modest size - There is a great reliance on fundraising by the larger arts institutions 3 Major Conclusions (cont) - A small group of very generous funders is providing a large portion of philanthropy in St.

    ST. LOUIS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION 2015 CENTENNIAL REPORT 3 A TIMELESS COMMITMENT TO ST. LOUIS AS THE SECOND COMMUNITY FOUNDATION ESTABLISHED IN THE UNITED STATES, WE CONTINUE TO ADHERE TO THE VALUES THAT SHAPED US A CENTURY AGO. Today, the St. Louis Community Foundation continues to pursue the mission set forth a century ago and more: To facilitate philanthropic and community partnerships that inspire regional good. It acts as a steward of charitable funds which support the causes and organizations that reflect the variety of interests and passions of the generous St. Louisans who donated them – yesterday, today, and even tomorrow. The Foundation also serves as a community resource and provides a forum for nonprofits, funders, donors, and civic leaders to convene and address community opportunities and challenges. Through it all, as it has for 100 years, the St. Louis Community Foundation ensures that the charitable wishes and the legacies of its donors are adhered to and continue to benefit the St. Louis region – for years and decades to come. Take the story of Edward Bredell. Although he died in 1894, he continues to make contributions to St. Louis institutions, thanks to a fund he established in 1896, which is now under the charitable umbrella of the St. Louis Community Foundation. Leaving a legacy in your hometown that spans a century is not only generous … IT’S GIVING FOR GOOD. OUR ST. LOUIS COMMUNITY FOUNDATION MAKES THAT POSSIBLE. 4 1 FREDERICK H.
