According to Jill McGuire, executive director of the Regional Arts Commission, Kathleen Hamilton, a Parkview resident and RAC board member, played a key role in bringing the YAHOO program to St. Louis.

She learned about YAHOO’s prototype in New Orleans from National Public Radio and sent away for information.

The Regional Arts Commission agreed to get the program going here and provide funding.

The West End Arts Council became the sponsor of the pilot program; our neighborhood’s Bill Christman, working with other nearby artists, is the facilitator.

The Yahoo pilot program represents the kind of activity that the Regional Arts Commission wants to fund. Including the West End Arts Council, the Regional Arts Commission funds 13 neighborhood arts councils. YAHOO, in nurturing youthful neighborhood artists, represents a very special form of neighborhood involvement, the involvement of artists, kids, and businesses, as well as the West End Arts Council and the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council.

The Skinker DeBaliviere pilot has received a grant from the Central West Bank as well as funding from Anheuser-Busch.

The YAHOO students have assembled a wonderful mural at Regional Hospital. McGuire said that this project has been beneficial to the young artists. But, it has also benefitted the neighbors and all who visit Regional by providing an enjoyable contrast to normal hospital surroundings.
