Our goals for Pop-Up STL are to:
1) Create an aesthetically rich and engaging downtown experience through a critical mass of temporary galleries with artworks spanning a wide range of styles and expressions, to spark curiosity and elevate our community.
2) Catalyze urban renewal by growing the city’s audience, fostering civic pride, strengthening neighborhood businesses and attracting new tenants.
3) Celebrate the work of local artists and further develop their audience by creating a new outlet through which artists can impact our community and win the interest and investment of art collectors and patrons.
Metro values our longstanding partnership with Art Saint Louis. Our board members, executive staff, and citizens attending public meetings in our building can look forward to the best artwork St. Louis has to offer, month after month.
