Over 3.5 million visitors know where: the Saint Louis Zoo, of course! The Saint Louis Zoo celebrated another record-breaking year for attendance in 2012, with Sea Lion Sound playing a starring role. Splish-Splash! At its public opening on June 30, nearly 30,000 visitors braved the heat to admire and learn about the Zoo’s 11 sea lions. The 1.5-acre space is a “state-of-the-art sea lion habitat that has changed our Zoo forever,” said Joseph F. Imbs, III, Chair of The Living Promise Campaign—a $120 million fundraising effort. Strolling through a 35-foot underwater tunnel—the first of its kind in North America—visitors can admire the sea lions gracefully swimming in their new saltwater pool. Creating a naturalistic saltwater environment was a priority for the exhibit. A year-round outdoor pool and rocky outcroppings are features of the Enterprise Rent-A-Car Family Sea Lion sea lion sound’s Landing, which resembles the Pacific Northwest. 35-foot underwater Naturally playful creatures, the California sea lions are also at home viewing tunnel is the sea lion sound opened with a in the Lichtenstein Sea Lion Arena during the popular First Bank first of its kind in splash on june 30, 2012 Sea Lion Show.

The super sea lion team is a lively and integral part of the Zoo’s more than 19,000 animals, which intrigue and amaze visitors every day, creating endless opportunities to love and learn about animals always. 2 first Bank sea lion show IS f OR bUILDINg OUR fUTURe Grab your gear. Put on your safari hat. A great adventure awaits us—just across the highway! In October, the Saint Louis Zoo Association, a private, nonprofit organization, purchased the site of the former Forest Park Hospital. Expanding our boundaries to include this 13.5-acre property at Hampton Avenue and Interstate 64 provides an extraordinary opportunity to pursue our critical mission of animal research, education and conservation. Growing Together “This is a purchase that will shape our future for decades to come. It is no secret that our Zoo has long needed additional space for habitats, research—even storage,” said Jeffrey P. Bonner, Ph.D., Dana Brown President & CEO. The site was purchased from Medline Industries, Inc. with Association funds, not taxpayer support. Like all great explorers, we are carefully mapping the course for decades to like all great explorers, come with expert partners by our side.

We are ready to build our long-term future together. 5 IS f OR conservation Imagine: thriving populations of frogs jumping along the banks of America’s streams, cheetahs racing through the African savannahs and Humboldt penguins strutting along the Peruvian coast. From the tiny American burying beetle to the immense black rhinoceros, every animal has a home in the wild. At least if we can help it. Preserving the Present, Securing the Future The Saint Louis Zoo is dedicated to making this dream a reality through extraordinary conservation programs. For its work in 2012, the Zoo earned two coveted awards given by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA), a national organization for global wildlife conservation. Slithering salamanders were the focus of the Edward H. Bean Award, which was given to the Zoo for its ongoing “Propagation, Head-start and Conservation Program for the Ozark Hellbender.” A crowning achievement was the first captive breeding of Ozark hellbenders in 2011 at the Saint Louis Zoo WildCare Institute Ron Goellner Center for Hellbender Conservation. This prestigious award recognizes the program’s tremendous breeding efforts and contribution to the understanding of Missouri’s aquatic ecosystem. through its outstanding Across the globe in Africa, the Zoo has been helping to manage conservation programs,the saint declining populations of the majestic Grevy’s zebra as a member of the Grevy’s Zebra Trust, an independent conservation organization. louis zoo strives to maintain Engaging with the local community through the Grevy’s Zebra Warrior Balance within and among Program, supported in part by the WildCare Institute, is one of the key ecosystems worldwide, and to Bring components of this work.

  • 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. GOFF The greatest use of TYPES OF FUNDS OPERA THEATRE OF ST. LOUIS I n 1914, Frederick H.
