To our HOSTL Fans and Friends,
Old North Saint Louis Restoration Group (ONSL) has invited HOSTL to have our first gallery show May 6th - May 31st. Although it was tough to narrow down the body of work from over 900 stories we’ve shared so far, we’re excited to have a curated series for St. Louis to enjoy in person! We believe there will be something truly special about walking through a space that is alive with the images, words, and hearts of some of the humans we’ve featured on the site...
To our HOSTL Fans and Friends,
Old North Saint Louis Restoration Group (ONSL) has invited HOSTL to have our first gallery show May 6th - May 31st. Although it was tough to narrow down the body of work from over 900 stories we’ve shared so far, we’re excited to have a curated series for St. Louis to enjoy in person! We believe there will be something truly special about walking through a space that is alive with the images, words, and hearts of some of the humans we’ve featured on the site so far.
Opening day, we will invite the HOSTL audience to purchase prints or framed pieces online of any of the photostories displayed at the show. A portion of the proceeds for the duration of the exhibit will go to ONSL.
Our big hope is that this exhibition will be a springboard for Team HOSTL to take the next step as we become a nonprofit. This means more original storytelling from our city streets, community collaborations, and offering more opportunities like #YouthHOSTL and HOSTL Scholars for those who want to learn and study documentary photography in St. Louis. We’re committed to amplifying the voices of the people of St. Louis, one photo and story at a time, while building a sustainable 501(c)3.
So, bring your friends and family for the First Friday Artwalk opening night, the following day for the 2016 Old North St. Louis House & Community Tour, or anytime throughout the month of May.
A big THANK YOU in advance for your encouragement, likes, shares, and generous contributions! Team HOSTL appreciates you helping us give life to these stories beyond the 24-hours that they're featured on the page.
Lindy, Caroline, & Dessa
Team HOSTL
