Program Overview

BoomerRacks is an St. Louis ArtWorks enterprise that uses art and entreprenuership to generate revenues to sustain the youth mentoring programs. BoomerRacks promotes green living through recycling and fuel-free exercise.

Not only does ArtWorks promote the healthy advance of our community’s most valuable resource, its young people, we also encourage them to live greener lives and learn more about how to work with our environment rather than exploiting it: To that end, our apprentices are creating products that are not only artistic, but useful. And they are learning to create from discarded and recycled materials, giving new life to what would otherwise become waste.

Bicycle racks with heart and purpose – as well as a sense of fun: BoomerRacks are fashioned from used bicycle parts, which are revitalized and crafted into durable, kinesthetic art. Customizable with your organization’s colors name or symbol, they can also be sized specifically for your needs.

Testimonials

ArtWorks changed my idea of how I looked at art and how I interpreted it. Before ArtWorks, I took a quick glance at a work of art; if I didn’t understand it I would just dismiss it. Now that I am a trained artist and understood what goes into a single piece, I take more time to look at the artwork. I look at the art piece like a story, and I try to interpret the story that the artist is trying to tell the viewer. ArtWorks had developed my view of art to an open-minded interpretation of every work of art I come in contact with.

Another experience I gained from participating in the Summer ArtWorks Apprentice Program was exercising my mind. I didn’t just sit around and watch TV every day, instead I learned about topics that sparked my interest. ArtWorks is far better than other jobs because it’s actually fun and you can benefit greatly from it.
