Boots Contemporary Art Space
Boots Contemporary Art Space
2005

Boots was developed in response to the lack of opportunities for artists in Saint Louis, Missouri. This nonprofit art lab provided emerging to mid-career artists and curators support to create and exhibit contemporary artwork. The brick building was purchased and restored in 2005, after which I founded Boots and served as director from 2006-2010. Located on historic Cherokee Street, it was one of the pillars that contributed to establishing this rapidly growing arts district in South Saint Louis.
