St. Louis is transforming into a vibrant mural city thanks to the St. Louis Mural Project (STLMP), which has brought 28 stunning murals to life across all 14 wards. Funded by federal pandemic relief funds, the project is a testament to the city’s dedication to supporting local artists and enhancing its public art scene.
Unveiling scenes of everyday life, captivating murals adorn the walls of historical structures. Painted during the 7th to 10th centuries, these vibrant artworks depict not only human activities but also majestic horses, enigmatic camels, and protective figures guarding over trees. These murals offer a unique window into the past, providing insights into the lifestyles and beliefs of people who lived centuries ago.
In an effort to enhance safety and aesthetics, Tempe’s Adaptive Streets Project is transforming intersections and bike lanes with vibrant murals. This low-cost initiative aims to foster community spirit and reduce driving speeds, making the city more enjoyable for both residents and visitors.
