Grand Center Information
Grand Center, located just north of the Saint Louis University campus, bills
itself as the arts district of St. Louis, Missouri.
The phrase can refer to the district itself (which is also known as Midtown), or
to the not-for-profit agency, Grand Center, Inc. which possesses certain
quasi-governmental powers and administers arts and urban-renewal programs in the
area. The district includes the Fox Theatre, Powell Symphony Hall (home of the
St. Louis Symphony Orchestra) and is adjacent to the campus of Saint Louis
University and its Saint Louis University Museum of Art and Museum of
Contemporary Religious Art.
The neighborhood features the recently restored and distinctive art deco white
high-rise the Continental Life Building, in addition to some large neon sign art
pieces both free standing and decorating the facade of the not yet restored Sun
Theater. There is a jazz club, a coffee house, a gospel church and an all ages
music venue. The St Louis Black Repertory Theater Company, The Contemporary Art
Museum Saint Louis, Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, the Sheldon concert hall,
and the headquarters of KETC channel 9 a PBS affiliate are located nearby. There
is a bowling alley and movie theater within walking distance. It is within
walking distance of the Grand (St. Louis Metrolink) Metro station.
