ST. LOUIS — The Center of Creative Arts was hosting an arts showcase to support a school community that was devastated by a shooting on campus in October.
COCA was scheduled to put on the Central Visual and Performing Arts Relief Showcase Friday night at 7 p.m.
Proceeds from the CVPA Relief Showcase were going to benefit the community after the shooting on October 24 that left a student and a teacher dead and seven people injured.
"There are no words that can express the heartbreak and pain this senseless act has caused and will continue [to] cause," the event description read. "But there is hope, CVPA is standing strong as a brilliant beacon of light in the darkness. Together, we are better and the healing begins with art. "
Tickets could be purchased online. The St. Louis Public School Foundation continued to collect donations to help the community.
