The North St. Louis Creative Field Guide is a new publication that shares artworks, essays, and other creative contributions generated from a resident- and artist-led project of the same name. From 2024–25, members of a working group who live and work in North St. Louis embarked on a project to treat nature as an art studio that creates wellbeing, community building, and renewed investment in place. The resulting publication is far more than a collection of art that has come out of a community engagement project—it is an act of devotion to the people, places, and natural world of North St. Louis.
Join representatives from the North St. Louis Creative Field Guide team to celebrate the launch of this publication. The evening will include remarks and readings from lead artists Dail Chambers and Juan William Chávez, along with Michelle Dezember, project curator. Complimentary light bites provided and drinks available for purchase. The publication is now on sale in the CAM Shop; $20.
