St. Louis has a wealth of creative talent and for the past few years, the Kranzberg Arts Foundation has been providing space, resources and opportunities for this talent to grow and show its work. Most recently, it has expanded its Residency Program to include not just musicians but also visual and literary artists. By providing work space, mentorship, marketing and other resources, the goal is to support and empower individual creatives while strengthening the St. Louis arts economy as a whole. We talked with several recipients to find out how this incredible opportunity will help them focus on evolving and promoting their art – and how their work can benefit the local community.
