My friend Michael Tomko, pointed this out to me, and asked me to share:

Since 2007, The Luminary Center for the Arts has been bringing the city of St. Louis innovative art, music and cultural projects. Now they are taking to Kickstarter to help with the purchase of a new building on Cherokee Street that they hope will become a unique incubator for the arts in the city.

Here’s what the Luminary says on Kickstarter:

The Luminary is purchasing a 22,500 sq/ft building (a former variety store) on Cherokee Street. Not only will the space allow our award-winning concerts and exhibits to expand, but we will also have on-site housing and studios for international artists-in-residence, classroom and workshop space for more public programs and a host of other resources for the creative community. However, our real goal is to help build one of the most vibrant arts communities in the country. And, with your help, we think we will.

They need some help, and are giving away some cool rewards for project backers. Please check it out at the Kickstarter link above.
