At Noon on Tuesday, February 3, 2015, the Delmar Commercial Committee of SDCC will host a presentation by the leaders of St. Louis ArtWorks regarding their plans for a new center at 5959 Delmar, originally Waldman Glass and most recently used for Able Key.
It is a large two-level building with a large parking area and lots of potential.
The building is owned by Felix Fegelman of Loop Automotive, and St. Louis ArtWorks has started its fundraising for a full renovation and plan for this site. Founded in 1995, St. Louis ArtWorks has served over 2,800 youth from the St. Louis Metropolitan Region. It’s an innovative job training program for under-resourced youth ages 14-19, which provides contemporary arts education, job training, financial literacy, and college readiness. ArtWorks impacts the region through economic investment and by providing human capital through our teens who earn stipends, collaborate with local business, and learn entrepreneurship through art and business development. Our programs have spurred urban renewal through partnerships with local government, creation of jobs, public art, and activated community members.
