SPECIAL EVENTS
StitchCast Studio LIVE!
Watch and be a part of Story Stitchers live podcast discussions, presented on the state-of-the-arts stage of 3301 Washington Ave. Story Stitchers artists and guest artists will round out each presentation with live art interludes.
Youth, ages 16-25 years old, discuss current topics in live podcast recordings on stage. Live art interludes are incorporated into the presentations. Learn about the community through the words of young leaders.
Youth, ages 16-25, lead meaningful dialogues that inspire original content in mentor-led workshops based on participants’ lived experiences in economically disadvantaged, high crime areas. Podcasts focus on the streets, gun violence, and finding solutions to issues that are coming at our youth hard. The project goal is to gain greater understanding of the needs and desires of the youth served and to give them an amplified voice to create needed changes in society, to support youth in a successful transition to adulthood, and to reduce youth crime in St. Louis. Youth artists use dialogue, adult guests, original poetry, and music to highlight their personal experiences with gun violence, life transitions, and mental health, promoting mutual respect for diverse ideas, greater understanding, and a more peaceful society.
Returning in 2024!

THE CENTER!
It’s FREE!
Stitchers Youth Council has performed over 400 times since 2014 throughout St. Louis in cultural venues, parks and at block parties.
Members are 16-25 years old social justice artists who work with adult mentors to generate high quality art that is aimed at moving the region to a healthier and happier future for all.
Working on numerous awards including the prestigious Lewis Prize For Music, geared at driving them towards a larger youth arts and technology center, a Youthbridge Community Foundation grant to create art to address stigmas around mental health amongst their peers, and the City of St. Louis Youth at Risk Crime Prevention grant of 2023-2024, they are certain to have an important impact.
The Lewis Prize for Music in partnership with the 2021 Accelerator Awardees, is proud to launch the video series, “Accelerating Change: Creative Youth Development In Progress Across the United States” to amplify the vital work CYD organizations are doing to empower young people as thriving leaders in communities across the country.
