Celebrating Street Art

The Mural Mile is a mile-long riverfront flood wall in St. Louis known as the Graffiti Wall. It showcases more than 250 graffiti artists from all over and is quite a neat thing to see.

It is just down the road from the Gateway Arch National Park on some back streets that might seem questionable, but we didn’t even hardly see any other traffic.

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.
