Museum of Black Inventors collaborate with the St. Louis Cultural Arts Center to host programs and events open to the
community year round.
Camp Inventions: Annual Summer Camp provides Music, Dance, Drama, Arts & Crafts and more for inner city youth at
no cost to participating families. Many of our camp attendees would not otherwise afford to experience summer fun in
such a safe, loving and creative way.
Community organizations, schools, & churches provide space for camp each summer until such time as the Museum is
relocated to it's new home in progress.

hands on replicas, drawings, photographs and documentation of Black Inventors.

hours or more. The exhibit is showcased at Museums and Galleries around the globe for special tours and sponsorships.

Our biggest event of the year is the much anticipated Youth Ball. Girls & boys 6-17 years of age meet on Saturdays
during a 6-8 week period. During this time, the youth are mentored and coached on communications, poise, and overall
etiquette. Youth compete in appropriate age categories and a sit down formal dinner concludes the event.

Mothers and daughter have a lot to share. MOBI provide a platform for young girls from
all backgrounds to learn about themselves through ongoing year around events. Events that
