The Arts and Education Council keeps art happening across the St. Louis region because we believe a region rich with arts and cultural opportunities is critical to creating and sustaining vibrant communities.

It is our hope that the Arts and Healing Initiative will be transformative in how we treat those with physical and psychological challenges.

Arts and Healing Initiative
The Arts and Education Council is excited to launch a new Arts and Healing Initiative, in partnership with Missouri Foundation for Health. The five-year grant will be used to launch the initiative which aims to improve the quality of life for people throughout St. Louis City and County in its first year, and other Missouri counties in subsequent years. The overarching goal of the Arts and Healing Initiative is to increase the capacity to heal through the arts.
The initiative will provide grants up to $10,000 to 501(c)(3) organizations who have a primary mission that is directly concerned with arts, arts education, healing and well-being.
Applications will be accepted June 1 through July 31.
