🎨 Fresh art has officially arrived on Delmar! ✨

The corridor is looking more vibrant than ever. Thanks to funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), local St. Louis-area artists have brought incredible new 2D public art installations right to the heart of our community—including the brand-new rotating exhibits lighting up the street medians. These pieces celebrate local creative voices, build connection, and redefine the energy of our historic street.

Next time you’re cruising, walking, or stopping by your favorite spot on Delmar, make sure to take it all in. Head to https://delmarmainstreetstl.com/ to learn more about the artists featured.
