Spindles in the City: Make Your Mark at the Iconic City Museum During this Special Celebration

January 28, 2025

Want to make your mark at City Museum and be a part of this creative playground’s lasting legacy? Join the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis for a special, interactive paint event, Spindles in the City, on Tuesday, Feb. 25 from 5:00pm – 9:00pm!

If you’ve been to City Museum, you’ve probably seen the uniquely colorful spinning posts along the rails of the main staircase, mezzanine, and second floor. Those iconic spindles came with the building — they were conveyor belt rollers, from when the building was an International Shoe Company warehouse.

Now, those spindles need some TLC. So, RAC has recruited some of the St. Louis Mural Project artists to re-paint them – and we want you to get in on the fun too! You don’t have to be artistically inclined to paint a spindle, so don’t be shy. If painting isn’t your thing, come down for the vibes and take in the talent and creativity we have here in STL.

WHEN: Tuesday, Feb. 25 5pm–9pm
WHERE: City Museum; 750 North 16th Street, St. Louis, MO 63103

A portion of the ticket proceeds will go to support The Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis
