About Me

The Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center is a non-profit project which aims to foster intellectual, creative and emotional growth of young people in the greater St. Louis Area, especially those who are already working in the creative arts.

The main focus of the center is a performance space which has gained international recognition as an all-ages center for non-commercial musical 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. Finally, the Board is selective in choosing who will perform at the center, avoiding acts of a commercial nature or who are irresponsible of the audience’s well-being (by promoting violent or reckless behavior or through a discriminatory, lewd, degrading or immoral message that fails to support the standards of the community or the mission of LNAC).
