Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center

The Lemp Neighborhood Arts center is a non-profit project that aims to encourage and support intellectual, creative, and emotional growth of young people in the greater St. Louis area, especially those who have less access to opportunities to learn about and engage in the arts. The main focus of the center is an el sistema inspired social change through music program. We seek to develop and promote among artists and the general public, by means of ongoing orchestral music training, classes, exhibits, lectures, performances, and other means of education and instruction, whether by example or precept, the better understanding and appreciation of the arts, especially musical and performing arts within a socially constructive context.
