Mission and programs · 2024
Mission
THE LUMINARY IS A NONPROFIT ART SPACE IN ST. LOUIS THAT SUPPORTS ARTISTS AND THE COMMUNITY THROUGH EXHIBITIONS, RESIDENCIES, GRANTS, AND PUBLIC PROGRAMS. WE PROVIDE TIME, SPACE, AND RESOURCES FOR CREATIVE WORK AND CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR PEOPLE TO CONNECT THROUGH ART.
-
Exhibitions: We organize three major exhibitions each year that are always free and open to the public. These shows bring together artists whose work explores important issues like equity, justice, and representation in culture. Each exhibition is designed to be immersive and engaging, and is often paired with talks, publications, and other events that help spark conversation and keep the ideas moving beyond our gallery.
Expenses $149,086 · Grants $46,950 · Revenue $36,799
-
Regranting:Through the Andy Warhol Foundations Regional Regranting program, The Luminary provides $60,000 each year directly to artists in St. Louis. Individual projects can receive up to $8,000, with 610 artists supported annually. This program focuses on community-based and socially engaged projects, giving local artists the resources to take on bold ideas that might not be funded otherwise.
Expenses $111,814
-
Residency:Our residency program gives visiting artists, writers, and curators time and space to focus deeply on their work. Residents receive full support to research new ideas, create projects, and connect with St. Louiss cultural community. Many residents develop new writing, artworks, or programs while here, and the residency helps build connections between local audiences and national or international perspectives.
Expenses $74,543
-
Public Programs:We host a wide range of public events that connect artists and audiences. These include our EMERGE professional development program for artists, as well as talks, screenings, workshops, and performances. Public programs are designed to be welcoming and responsive, creating opportunities for people to learn, share ideas, and take part in the larger conversation around contemporary art.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
