Kath Leverenz, Continuity STL

read Kath's story  

The arts have the power to transform not only individuals but also families, communities, and a region.

The arts can change the way we see ourselves and the way we see each other. And the arts touch so many aspects of civic and community life, in ways seen and unseen, large and small.

That’s why we are pursuing a cultural vision to benefit and elevate not only the arts and culture in St. Louis but also to benefit and elevate St. Louis.

But if all people in St. Louis have access to create and engage in the arts, and if the arts are understood and assumed to be for all, not just for some, then the arts can be not only an equalizer but also a ladder to opportunity, a job creator, a bridge between communities, an educational asset, a source of civic pride, an attractor of visitors, a draw for transplants, and a true economic engine.
