St. Louis Mural Project: A City Transformed

July 16, 2024

Funded through ARPA for the Arts and managed by the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis, the St. Louis Mural Project (STLMP) illustrates the city’s love of public art and the creatives who bring it to life.  

Creativity and community pride are part of the foundation of St. Louis, and it’s baked into the brick found throughout this historic city. That passion for place, people and artistic expression comes together with the STLMP, a visionary initiative that embraces collaboration, beautification, and support for local artists. 

Throughout this project, twenty-eight murals will be created by local artists across fourteen wards in St. Louis. Local artists were selected through a competitive grantmaking process to create murals that incorporate community engagement or showcase the historical significance of the ward in which the mural is located.  

St. Louis creatives showed up with concepts that capture the spirit and distinctiveness of each area. There’s so much to discover within St. Louis’ inviting neighborhoods. So, come to marvel at the murals. Then stay for the great food, parks, shopping and more. Let these amazing murals be your map to explore St. Louis.
