ABOUT SAINT LOUIS STORY STITCHERS ARTISTS COLLECTIVE

Founded in August 2013 and Incorporated in December 2014 as a 501(c)(3) Charitable Organization Chartered in the great State of Missouri, United States of America

Story Stitchers erase real and perceived divisions through cultural exploration and arts practice — by stitching together our city. Mission: To document Saint Louis through art and w

ord to promote understanding, civic pride, intergenerational relationships and literacy. Goal: To promote a better educated, more peaceful and caring region through storytelling. OUR STORY

Once upon a time there was a stitcher who liked to embroider stories from the newspaper. One day she was stitching about two sisters who were shot on their porch in University City. Two brothers were arrested for the crime. The stitcher reflected on the power of stitching throughout history; of the Aids quilt and quilts on the Underground Railroad. She determined to join with others to create change. In August 2013 eight artists gathered in Old North St. Louis and founded the Saint Louis Story Stitchers Artists Collective — to make change. Saint Louis Story Stitchers Artists Collective is professional artists and minority youth ages 16-24, working together to create social change with a focus on gun violence prevention. Stitchers collect stories, reframe and retell them through art, writing and performance to promote understanding, civic pride, intergenerational relationships and literacy. Projects create a platform for community engagement through an artistic lens and with it the Saint Louis Story Stitchers work to shift perceptions and realities and bring hope to the Saint Louis community.

🧘🏾‍♀️ Peace, Sunlight & Stillness 🌱
At Story Stitchers, we believe mental health starts with connection — to self, to community, and to nature.
Meditating in the sun, surrounded by the sounds of the earth, helps calm the mind, ease anxiety, and spark creativity. 🌞✨

Take a few minutes to step outside today. Breathe, reflect, and let the light remind you of your strength. 💙

🌾✨ Our youth conquered a 2-hour hike and were rewarded with breathtaking views from the top of the prairie! 💪🏾🌿

This journey wasn’t just about the steps taken, but about building resilience, teamwork, and appreciation for the beauty around us. 💚

📸 Just look at that view—proof that the climb is always worth it!

🌆➡️🌾 From the City to the Prairie

Our youth are used to concrete, busy streets, and fast-paced city life. But stepping into the prairie… it’s a whole new world. 🌿✨

🌇 Inner City: sirens, traffic, tall buildings.
🌾 Prairie: birdsong, wide skies, and peace you can feel in your spirit.

The shift is powerful — it reminds us that healing, creativity, and growth flourish when we connect with nature. 💚

📸 Watch as our youth discover freedom, reflection, and inspiration in the open prairie.
