  • 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 Following a court challenge, the City of St. Louis repealed its overly broad street performer ordinance in October 2013.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 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.

    St. Louis, MO Previous GTCA City 2019 Contact: John Robertson or Noah Lee ​ Church in St. Louis, 11510 Old St. Charles Rd, Bridgeton, MO 63044 Email: [email protected] ​ ​ Website: www.churchinstlouis.org ​ ​ The church in St. Louis The saints began to meet in St. Louis in the 1960s and took the ground on May 18, 2003. Today, approximately 70 gather on Lord’s Day mornings, including approximately six young people and 14 children. About 20 saints attend the weekly prayer meetings. Additional meetings include a neighborhood children’s meeting on Mondays, a young people’s meeting on Saturdays, and two group meetings focused on college students on Fridays (English-speaking and Chinese-speaking). There are five group meetings, including a community meeting with local Christians on Wednesdays. The racial composition of the church is mainly Asian, with a small number of White, African, and Hispanic saints. The church in St. Louis is endeavoring to build up the church in truth, life, gospel and service, as well as laboring on the children, students (young people and college-age), and community. The church is endeavoring to build up the organic structure of the church through vital living, vital groups, and small groups, and is looking to the Lord for additional strengthening of the leadership and more shepherding saints to join us as patterns of the flock. ​ The burden of the college work is to gain typical Missourians at the University of Missouri–St. Louis (UMSL) and to care for the saints attending Washington University in St. Louis (WashU) and Saint Louis University (SLU).
