STRT ART STL - The Flood Walls - MURAL MILE 🤘😱

Street Art

The Mural Mile is located along the Riverfront between Victor and Chouteau Avenues, south of the Gateway Arch. Started in 1997, the project became an annual event held every labor day weekend. Organized by the organization Paint Louis, more than 250 graffiti artists from around the country came to St. Louis to add to this mural on the Mississippi River floodwall.
This space is one of the most dynamic street art scenes in the country. It attracts National, International and local artists. The style is vary. The messages deep. The culture is true. And… Graffiti artists from across the nation periodically assemble for a local event known as “Paint Louis,” during which they each leave their artistic mark on an industrial wall or structure that has been designated for the task. After the event has finished, paint-overs become increasingly common, and the piece takes on additional lives and identities as the original work slowly disappears.
