Artists First (formerly known as Turner Center for the Arts) meets the unique community need of providing an open art program for adults with disabilities. Through Artists First's largest program, the Adult Open Studio, staff and volunteers provide nurturing, structured artistic direction for adults with disabilities, resulting in increased independence for participants. Artists First's culture is one of inclusion, from program development to program implementation. We intentionally target disenfranchised individuals and take steps to ensure participation such as reduced fees and scholarships. All programs are centrally located and take place in accessible buildings. Artists First staff have extensive experience working with individuals with disabilities of all backgrounds. Artists First accepts all participants regardless of age, gender, ability, sexual orientation, religion, race or ethnicity. Artists First maintains an inclusive and accepting environment

Fontbonne University Fine Arts Gallery's mission is to encourage and support the artist and the education of the visual arts in the community through its exhibitions and programs. We value the artist and their work by promoting and supporting them through exhibitions, gallery talks, education and outreach programs. We want to help build audiences for the artist’s work by providing the community with a venue to view quality art. We believe in creating an educational environment for both the artist and audience to interact for a more personal experience of art. We serve Artists - young, emerging, and professional; Art Viewers - novice, those seeking more knowledge and experience of the arts; Art Collector; and Special Populations. We reach out to these communities by providing professional art programs and encouraging the participation of art through a variety of learning opportunities. The Gallery renovation was generously funded by the Fontbonne Community Connection January 2011. The Figure Now Exhibition was the first exhibition in the new space.

Norton’s Fine Art & Framing has been owned and operated by the same service-oriented family since 1949. Ruth Norton was an interior decorator, and her husband, Cecil, an architect/engineer with Norton Company Designers. Together they created a business to merge their respective fields. From these roots, Norton’s has evolved into a unique custom, conservation framing, and restoration services studio with two certified picture framers, Doug and Mary Norton. Doug, Mary, and their son, Ty, have endeavored to bring together the finest in artwork, creative, professional framing and caring customer service. Doug Norton, CPF, and Mary Norton, CPF, of Norton's Fine Art & Framing, are charter members of the Professional Picture Framers Association's CERTIFIED PICTURE FRAMER Program. The gallery carries a wide variety of artwork, including original watercolors, paintings, lithographs, etchings, serigraphs, landscapes, historical maritime, sports, and St. Louis art, by regional as well as national and international artists. “As certified picture framers, the gallery owners "package" art as beautifully as they display it. The gallery and frame shop was started in 1949 and remains a fixture in St. Louis more than a half- century later. Today, the second and third generations of Norton's run the gallery, with the purpose of bringing together the finest in artwork and creative framing. Each year, the gallery hosts three to four exhibits”. – DigitalCity

2ndStory Space is more than just Jennifer Weigel's private art studio. It is a place where artists & non-artists can collaborate; engage in thought-provoking conversation; attend presentations on professional practices in the visual arts; and so much more. It is also the home of Creative Clarification Coaching, offering one-on-one consultation services to help artists of all disciplines better articulate what they do and why.

This tiny art gallery is a testament to my reclamation of the spaces in my home. The small but dynamic gallery will periodically host receptions and openings, all of which are strictly by invitation only to avoid over-crowding and unsafe conditions.
