The Arts and Education Council provides office space, state-of-the-art technology, rehearsal and performance space for 17 nonprofit arts organizations in the Centene Center for Arts and Education, an arts incubator located in Grand Center. History The Centene Center for Arts and Education began its life in the late 1880s when Jacob Mahler built a dance studio. In 1906, Ann Hamilton Bailey deeded additional frontage space and in 1907, Archbishop John J. Glennon dedicated the new home of the Knights of Columbus with great fanfare and spectacle. This architectural masterpiece, designed by Baker and Knell, would become the showpiece for the Knights of Columbus for decades to come. Later the structure served as home to the International Machinists Union and the Medinah Temple. After nearly twenty years without occupancy, all the arts have returned to this space. Many of the original architectural features installed during the days of the Knights of Columbus Hall have been preserved — the beautiful gothic-style white glazed terra cotta façade, the corridors lined in Italian marble, the original tile and wooden floors, and the elaborate ironwork. A New Beginning Through the vision of Vince Schoemehl and the Grand Center Board of Directors, Steve Trampe and Owen Development, and the Arts and Education Council Board and Staff, a new home for the arts in Grand Center was established. Through the leadership gift of the Centene Charitable Foundation, the Centene Center for Arts and Education provides arts organizations state-of-the-art offices and technology.

The Continental-Life Building, also known as the Continental Building, is an Art Deco skyscraper in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, which was completed in 1930. The building is located in Grand Center in St. Louis' Midtown neighborhood, and it is visible from Interstate 64/Highway 40 and Interstate 44. Commissioned by Edward Mays to be the home of his two businesses, Continental-Life Insurance and the Grand National Bank, the building was designed by William B. Ittner, a prominent St. Louis architect. On September 22, 1955, the building was purchased for $2 million by then 27-year old developers Robert A. Futterman and Jerry Tenney. When Futterman died suddenly in 1961, choking on a sandwich at a dinner party at age 33, his death propelled the building into near insolvency. In his 2003 book The Queen of Lace, The Story of the Continental Life Building, developer and author Stephen Trampe called it \"the sandwich that started the decline.\" The tower housed businesses through the mid-1960s when its co-owners included St. Louis mayor Alfonso J. Cervantes, prominent St. Louis defense attorney Morris Shenker, and Harold Koplar of KPLR.
