The Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center is a non-profit D.I.Y. music space and art gallery located in the historic Benton Park neighborhood in the city of Saint Louis. Its focus is to provide a hospitable environment for high quality non-commercial musicians and artists from within the U.S. and around the world while attempting to create work that engages in the social, intellectual, creative, and emotional growth of the youth in the immediate neighborhood and surrounding city, particularly those who are already engaged in the creative arts.
As an all-ages D.I.Y. venue, LNAC is a smoke and alcohol free environment that avoids booking acts of a commercial nature. It also strictly prohibits violent or reckless behavior and discriminatory, lewd, degrading or immoral messages that fail to support the standards of the community or the mission of the venue. The only things offered are art and bottled water. There is no elevated stage. The acoustics are among the best and the intimate setting is ideal for experimental music. It has made a reputation for offering the traveling performers home-cooked meals, lodging, and a high percentage of the cash made at the door.
Performers hail from all parts of the United States, Tokyo, Berlin, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, Milan, Sweden, Rome, and Beirut (to name only a few). Musical genres include and are not limited to: free improvisation, electro-acoustic, folk, hardcore, punk, post-punk, rock, math rock, noise, grind, and no-wave. It also hosts poetry and theater.
