Description
Founded in 1986, the Gateway Foundation seeks to enrich life and culture in the St. Louis area by supporting efforts to acquire, create, or improve tangible and durable art and urban design. In 2009, the Foundation’s largest project, a two-block sculpture park called Citygarden, opened in downtown St. Louis in the Gateway Mall. Notable installations can be seen by visiting Citygarden, the Missouri Botanical Garden, Washington University, the Central Library, the Science Center, and The Sheldon Concert Hall, to name just a few, with more than 70 installations throughout the region. Additionally, the Foundation has arranged for and funded the lighting of the Gateway Arch, St. Louis City Hall, the Old Courthouse, the Civil Courts Building, the City’s three landmark Water Towers, and other historically important and/or architecturally significant structures, and has funded the building of several City playgrounds and parks.
