Learning how to transform feelings into action is a powerful life skill. Big emotions are part of being human—but when they stay trapped in the body, they slowly drain liveliness and energy. Movement - especially collective movement like dance , group fitness classes, or marches, offers a means to release, restore, and reconnect with yourself and those around you.

You might not be able to change the world on a global scale - but when you take small, actionable steps to helping those in your community, you can start seeing the direct impact you can make.

We are leaning further into our mission now more than ever. We walk life with you, creating moments of transformation through movement.

If you're also passionate about movement, the arts, and building confidence in our future generations - You're already part of this community.

At the intersection of the arts and public health, CommUNITY Arts STL inspires intentional and creative living across St. Louis! 🎨✨ We bring this mission to life through engaging school-based arts education and annual multimedia productions that spread kindness region-wide.

This Give Day STL, CommUNITY Arts STL has formed a meaningful partnership with Normandy Schools Collaborative. Through our Arts & Literacy workshops, we use co-founder Mary Ellen Bryan’s children’s books to bridge the gap between storytelling and the visual arts. This integrated curriculum empowers students to discover their unique voices through creative writing and performing arts, providing them with their own books for their at-home libraries and the social emotional tools they need to thrive.

Help us reach our $3,000 goal! Your support will provide over 450 books and weekly craft supplies for five classrooms throughout the upcoming school year.

This Give STL Day, we are on a mission to bring the arts back to our classrooms. With ongoing budget cuts threatening arts education, many children are losing access to the vital experiences that shape future success. The arts are not merely “side activities”—they are essential for developing our next generation of leaders. As the Harvard Graduate School of Education notes: “Participation in the arts is linked to higher levels of critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving.”

To combat this decline, CommUNITY Arts STL has formed a meaningful partnership with the Normandy Schools Collaborative. Through our Arts & Literacy workshops, we use co-founder Mary Ellen Bryan’s children’s books to bridge the gap between storytelling and the visual arts. This integrated curriculum empowers students to discover their unique voices through creative writing and performing arts, providing them with their own books for their at-home libraries and the social emotional tools they need to thrive.
