Light-inspired art in a burgeoning art district in North Downtown St. Louis.
It's a collaboration between a lot of artists, art galleries and all things artsy. Many of your readers may be surprised/delighted/shocked to find such cool things going on in the 2nd most dangerous city in the USA. Being from St. Louis, I for one am not surprised, but I am delighted!
For pretty visuals, Check out the lit up buckets in scaffolding "Untitled" by Jason Peters
and the church roof (the church's roof was destroyed when it caught fire in a electrical storm and has been left vacant for years) colorfully and vibrantly reconstructed from donated lamps by Ranier Kehres and Sebastian Hungerer

It starts today.
Also, free ice cream made by solar power until October for folks visiting the projects in the afternoon.
