A new multipurpose development from KAF, Grandel Square Studios & Workspaces, is officially open at 3701 Grandel Square, offering studio spaces for visual and multidisciplinary artists and workspaces for nonprofits. KAF purchased the building from The Urban League of St. Louis in order to support their purchase of a new headquarters. For the past couple of years, the space has been divided into two suites – one occupied by the St. Louis Story Stitchers, and another utilized by the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra during the renovation of Powell Hall.
With the Symphony now back in its renovated home, the building is now operational in its intended purpose of supporting artists and social service nonprofits. Over 20 workspaces and studios offer shared amenities, including conference rooms, co-working spaces, and common work areas outside of private studios, as well as 24-hour access and provided internet/utilities.
“We’re very excited to open this new space and offer St. Louis artists exceptional private studios and workspaces. Our goal is to create a vibrant environment that fosters connection, encourages collaboration, and supports each artist’s creative growth,” says Brandon Anschultz.
Studio artists will have opportunities to display their work in common areas as well as organize Open Studio events and markets in the building, and take advantage of other KAF venue amenities, such as the scene shops at 3333 Washington and printing at The Kranzberg.
“In addition to our entertainment venues and gallery spaces, KAF is focused on providing the day-to-day infrastructure our artists and small arts and social service nonprofits need to grow and thrive,” says KAF Executive Director Chris Hansen. “Developing properties like the Grandel Square Studios & Workspaces helps fulfill that promise.”
