St. Louis Volunteer Lawyers and Accountants for the Arts

NEW LOGO, NEW WEBSITE
We have a new logo and a new website, which launched on May 20. The “responsive design” site provides easy reading and navigation across a wide range of devices from desktop computer monitors to mobile phones. Our forms are now electronic, and a law student blog debuted last week. Design and construction of new site was made possible by support from UMB Bank and donations made in memory of Darwin Portman, a founding board member. Obata designed the logo and the site.

Clients are encouraged to acknowledge our assistance by downloading and using our logo in their printed publicity materials and on their websites. Arts and arts service organizations are invited to post our logo and link to our site. Download now

ARCADE APARTMENTS COMING SOON
Arcade Apartments — with more than 13,000 square feet of shared work and studio spaces — is a collaborative community designed to embrace and support local artists. One of the city’s best examples of a Gothic revival high-rise, this National Historic Landmark, located at 800 Olive Street, offers spectacular 1, 2 and 3 bedroom floor plans with affordable rents from $563. Arcade Artist Apartments will feature tall ceilings, open floor plans, beautiful maple cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, marble counter-tops and concrete flooring. The renovated building will open in late 2015.Dominium, the Minneapolis-based developer, turned the Metropolitan Building in Grand Center into 72 artists’ lofts, similar to its conversion of the Leather Trades Lofts building downtown.
