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.
