Part of the joy of Black History Month is that new history is written every day. In St. Louis, there are countless Black artists and creators doing great work to make our region proud. To celebrate the month, we highlighted just a few of the Black artists who elevate our city and inspire the team at CITY. From chefs to choreographers, musicians to muralists, check out a small selection of STLMade Black creators in and around St. Louis. Enjoy their work not only this February, but anytime you’re looking for fine art, food, jewelry, or a great local place to spend the day.
