Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

WHAT IS THE CHAPEL?

THE CHAPEL is a not-for-profit venue with a vision to enable St. Louis musicians, artists and performers to more easily make a living in their calling.  The Chapel is devoted to the arts and artists of Saint Louis. Because of this, we do not host events outside of the purview of our mission. This includes weddings, receptions, presentations, church/religious services or gatherings, or private events.


WHAT FEES DO ARTISTS PAY TO USE THE VENUE?

Use of the space is free and performers take 100% of the door money.  When hosting events, we provide up to two free drinks (wine and/or beer, soda, water) per patron (donated by friends of The Chapel) as well as volunteers to run the bar. All staff are volunteers and our host, Memorial Presbyterian Church provides the space and covers our utilities.


WHAT IS THE VENUE SEATING CAPACITY?

Maximum allowable seating is 100 people.  However, to maximize the enjoyment of the audiences typically seating is limited to 80 people.


WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THE FACILITIES?

The Chapel is just behind Memorial Presbyterian Church, in an English gothic building attached to the back of the church.  The Chapel consists of three public spaces:


All three spaces are equipped as gallery space, with lighting and a gallery hanging system. The main venue has acoustical, sound and lighting systems, prep area, stage and flexible seating for up to 100. Additionally, restrooms (one ADA accessible) are provided off the Gallery Hall.
