Artica is a non-profit arts organization dedicated to the arts community of St. Louis with over 20 years of supporting artists and creators of all ages and backgrounds. Each year, Artica establishes an “art city” with two days of music, interactive art, multi-media installations, workshops, parades, and performances. The goal of this festival is to foster the development of new works of art inspir
ed by the St. Louis riverfront landscape and history, stimulate creativity through participatory art projects, provide platforms for artists to share their stories and visions with the community, and to do all of this uninhibited by commerce. This free, unconventional art festival is the culmination of our efforts to promote the advancement of local artists year round.
