OUR HOME

SCOSAG is located in a nationally recognized historic landmark, The South Gate Lodge of Tower Grove Park. Built in 1888, this cozy “cottage castle” has seen 118 years of history pass through its doors. In the past, it has been living quarters for grounds keepers. More recently, for twenty-five years, it was the park office; and for the past two years it has been home to many young artists and their mentors. The South Gate Lodge offers countless discoveries as visitors peruse its interior and exterior decorative architecture and antique fixtures – not to mention all the art!

In addition to Arts programming at SCOSAG, Tower Grove Park provides our students and parents with other valuable resources. Families can “make a day” of it when they visit Tower Grove Park, gaining knowledge of nature and history. The park is home to over 300 varieties of trees and shrubs, as well as historic sculptures and architecture. Parents awaiting their young artists in the studio, can utilize the many trails and walking paths that wander throughout the park.
