Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center

About Us:

The Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center is a non-profit project which aims to encourage and support intellectual, creative and emotional growth of young people in the greater St. Louis Area, especially those who are already engaged in the creative arts. While doing so, we also support independent artists and musicians at an international level.

The main focus of the center is a performance space which doubles as an art gallery, having gained international recognition as a destination for non-commercial musicians and artists.

LNAC offers a smoke and alcohol free, all-ages environment. We are not a bar or a coffeehouse! We offer only art and bottled water. There is no elevated stage.

The acoustics are among the best and the intimate setting is ideal for experimental music. We have made a reputation for offering the traveling performers home-cooked meals and a high percentage of the cash made at the door, and lodging.

The Board is selective in choosing who will perform at the center, avoiding acts of a commercial nature. We also prohibit violent or reckless behavior and discriminatory, lewd, degrading or immoral messages that fail to support the standards of the community or the mission of LNAC.
