In 2015, Creative Exchange Labs was awarded a National Endowment of the Arts grant for its proposal to map the cultural assets of East St. Louis.

From July to October, Creative Exchange Labs will host a series of talks that highlight these assets. Visit creativeexchangelab.com for dates, times and locations.
