The Luminary, with support from the STLMade movement, announces a storefront project space by Aaron Fowler known as N2EXISTENCE at 2834 Cherokee Street.

Participants will continue to rotate every few weeks through March 2021, ranging from shoe designers, podcasters, visual artists, recording artists and entrepreneurs in its six-month run:

The name is a nod to words of encouragement—almost a mantra—that the artist’s grandmother has uttered his entire life: "You need to speak it into existence."

In parallel with its year-long project with Aaron Fowler, The Luminary, with support from the STLMade movement, announces a storefront project space by Aaron Fowler known as N2EXISTENCE at 2834 Cherokee Street. Set to open the series on Saturday, October 10 from 12 to 5pm, N2EXISTENCE is focused on manifesting the dreams of Fowler's family, friends and communities throughout the St. Louis region.

N2EXISTENCE is the first part of the acclaimed artist’s largest series of projects to date and the first solo presentation in his hometown of St. Louis. Fowler is picking up the practice of speaking a new future into existence, as an aspiration of hope, for himself, his family and his city in this moment of traumatic change. The storefront will be a space in which a growing group of participants from around the region can present their work to the public and collaborate directly with the artist to create new works to share. For Fowler, N2EXISTENCE is "a movement to create cultural change, inspiring people to use their passions to manifest new realities of freedom.”
