Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center
The Lemp Neighborhood Arts Center (LNAC) is a non-profit performance space, art gallery, and community center located in the historic Benton Park neighborhood of St. Louis, Missouri. Since March 1994, the organization has been the forefront of art spaces committed to the DIY ethic in St. Louis and the Midwest, holding the position as the longest-running "Do-It-Yourself" music venue in the region and fourth-longest-running in the United States behind ABC No Rio in the Lower East Side neighborhood of New York City, the Che Cafe in La Jolla, California, and 924 Gilman Street in Oakland, California.

Famous quotes containing the words neighborhood, arts and/or center:
“The paid wealth which hundreds in the community acquire in trade, or by the incessant expansions of our population and arts, enchants the eyes of all the rest; the luck of one is the hope of thousands, and the bribe acts like the neighborhood of a gold mine to impoverish the farm, the school, the church, the house, and the very body and feature of man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In the arts of life man invents nothing; but in the arts of death he outdoes Nature herself, and produces by chemistry and machinery all the slaughter of plague, pestilence, and famine.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“Children can’t be a center of life and a reason for being. They can be a thousand things that are delightful, interesting, satisfying, but they can’t be a wellspring to live from. Or they shouldn’t be.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
