The Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis (RAC) has partnered with the Center for Emerging Technologies (CET) and CIC St. Louis to provide six selected St. Louis artists with a unique professional development experience to gain access to a community of inventive people at the epicenter of entrepreneurship. Be a part of a movement of big thinkers and risk-takers working outside of the field of traditional arts and in the world of start-ups. CIC@CET, located at 20 South Sarah, is offering co-working space to selected artists at no fee for nine months starting April 24, 2017. This is an exciting opportunity for artists to be influenced by a cross-section of innovators and for those innovators to be influenced by the creativity of artists.
Selected artists will form a cohort that seeks to leverage the intersection of art, science, technology and innovation. The goal is for creativity, serendipity and discovery to go both ways, with artists and entrepreneurs finding mutually beneficial and creatively stimulating ways to interact and collaborate. This is a 9-month, place-based program is located in co-working at CIC@CET at 20 South Sarah at Forest Park Boulevard.
This pilot opportunity is presented as an extension of RAC’s commitment to support the careers of artists in the St. Louis region. Along with Artist Support Grants and Artist Fellowships, RAC encourages creativity, innovation, entrepreneurship and sustained commitment to artistic work. This support is a significant part of the platform for our region to be recognized as a hub for arts and creativity
