Music Strategy

The Regional Arts Commission is proud to be working with the St. Louis music community, the Center for Civic Research and Innovation (CCRI) and the Kranzberg Arts Foundation on a strategic assessment focused on St. Louis vibrant music scene and leveraging music as an important driver of the city development.

Aside from being known for its baseball, beer and the Arch, St. Louis is home to legendary venues and rich pool of musical talent in several different genres most notable jazz, country, bluegrass, and most recent hip hop which is available every day of the week. It is no surprise that music is already a top economic driver in St. Louis – but the music culture of the area is an underutilized asset in attracting both short-term visitors and top talent to the area.
