Saint Louis Story Stitchers

Saint Louis Story Stitchers erase real and perceived divisions through cultural exploration and arts practice by stitching together our city.

The program works to document Saint Louis through art and word to promote understanding, civic pride, intergenerational relationships and literacy.

Collective artists work alongside twenty 15-24 year old urban youth living in economically disadvantaged areas to collect stories, reframe and retell them using the arts, direct community engagement, storytelling, publishing and the Internet to promote a better educated, more peaceful and caring society.
