40 Years of Funding Beauty: The Art Making the Gateway City a Destination
RAC is a large part of what makes the city unique, and its funding of the art cements it as a destination of culture in the region. Since the city’s founding, St. Louis has been known as a musical locus — attracting and molding brilliant Blues and Jazz stars who would rock the nation. Four of RAC’s first grantees understand the importance of music in the community, and for decades they have upheld the city’s legacy as a stepping-stone and haven for musicians.
