ImpART-STL
ImpART-STL was conceived in 2019 and is a community based service program operating under Shabach Artistic Expressions Global Ministry. It missions to positively impact underserved neighborhoods in STL by helping to meet the needs of the community and impARTing messages of hope, positivity and inspiration using the mediums of fine and performing arts!
On October 3rd, 2020 impART-STL hosted it's first community based event called, Speak Life! Outdoor Community Event! On a crisp, rainy, November afternoon, in the parking lot of Legacy Bookstore Bar & Grill, near the corner of Union and Delmar, we gave away 100 FREE face masks and hand sanitizer to the underserved residents of North St. Louis!! All the while a few local STL artists of various genres SPOKE LIFE into a community that needed it so! North St. Louis residents expressed gratitude, just to be thought about, and we were blessed to be a blessing!
If you would like to help us continue to be a blessing to others please /donate! All donations are tax deductible!
