Techartista Foundation

OUR MISSION The mission of the TechArtista Foundation is to promote and support a thriving entrepreneurial and creative economy by providing access, building capacity, and fostering community. OUR PROGRAMS STL Startup Week: Each year, STL Startup Week brings together thousands of founders, small business owners, funders, industry experts, and community leaders to be inspired, spark new ideas, foster meaningful connections, and promote shared learning. The week-long programming features inspiring talks, hands-on workshops, panel discussions, competitions, networking events, meetups, and more. Curator-in-Residence: Our Curator-in-Residence program provides emerging curators with hands-on experience and build meaningful connections within the St. Louis arts community. Hosted in our co-working spaces, this paid, part-time residency supports curators in developing their professional practice while spotlighting new artistic voices. Fiscal Sponsorship: Offers creatives, entrepreneurs, community builders, and emerging arts/entrepreneurship initiatives access to funding opportunities and other resources through an affiliation with our tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization. Community Impact Grants: We provide a free open co-working memberships to selected entrepreneurs from underrepresented backgrounds or who are working to address social or environmental issues.
