Artscope Keeps Art Accessible for St. Louis Kids

Keep Creativity Growing for St. Louis Kids!

For over two decades, Artscope has welcomed St. Louis kids into a one-of-a-kind creative home. A place where they put down the screens, pick up paintbrushes, dig their hands into the earth, and draw inspiration from the living world around them. From our historic cottage nestled in Tower Grove Park, we weave together artistic creativity and a deep connection to nature, helping young people discover their voice, build real community, and develop collaboration skills that last a lifetime.

Our camps in Tower Grove Park bring these experiences to kids across St. Louis through Summer Camp Create and School's Out Camp. Our Artists-in-Residence program sends working artists directly into underfunded classrooms, while our community partnerships bring creative experiences to refugee families and underserved neighborhoods across the city.

With your help we can provide this experience to all kids regardless of background, income, or zip code -- because every child in our community deserves to discover their creative voice.
