When you think about the arts in St. Louis, you might think first about our world-class institutions, like the St. Louis Art Museum, the Contemporary Art Museum or the Pulitzer Arts Foundation. But if you dig deeper, you’ll discover a thriving local arts scene, with individual artists, galleries, and districts adding robust color and texture to our visual arts community. Visit a thought-provoking exhibit at the Luminary, the Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum or the Grand Center Arts District, for example. But the arts in St. Louis are more than aesthetic. According to the Regional Arts Commission, the arts sector is responsible for nearly $1 billion in economic activity, bringing in more than 8 million attendees annually.
