Artica

ARTICA provides a platform to celebrate the creative spirit of St. Louis culminating in our annual riverfront festival.​

Each year, ARTICA invites artists working in all forms and media to explore the city's history, share new ideas, and create engaging works of art that invite participation from the public. The collaborative and multidisciplinary nature of the ARTICA Festival encourages artistic exchange and the creation of innovative new work. This unconventional art festival represents our year-round efforts to support and elevate artistic talent.

ARTICA is a Saint Louis based community arts organization and 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Since it’s inception in 2002, ARTICA has invited artists of all genres and media to honor this city's history, push creative boundaries, and engage their communities through interactive art, culminating each year in our annual festival & burn. In 2024, we were proud to have offered grants totaling more than $20,000 directly to local artists, aiding in helping creative visions of all disciplines become a reality.
