RAC to Host Virtual Town Hall on March 19, 2026

RSVP to the virtual town hall here. 

As part of the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis’s ongoing commitment to transparency, stewardship, and service to the St. Louis arts community, Commission Chair Tino Ochoa and President & CEO Vanessa Cooksey will provide an update on recent developments during a virtual town hall on Thursday, March 19 at 10:00am CST.

RAC recently received notice from the Missouri State Auditor’s Office that it will initiate a formal audit of RAC.

For 40 years, RAC has served the St. Louis arts and culture community by awarding grants vetted through efficient and rigorous processes and marshalling resources for public benefit. This is our purpose and why we exist, a responsibility that requires a commitment to transparency and accountability.

We invite you to join us for a brief virtual town hall to receive information additional to this statement.

We are cooperating fully with the State Auditor’s Office and are confident the findings will mirror the success we have come to expect at the local level. As always, RAC will continue to focus on serving the St. Louis region’s arts and cultural community and maintaining the public’s trust.

Please CLICK HERE to RSVP. If you cannot attend, we will provide a recording of this session on our website following the session.
