Dogtown United has partnered with Painted Black STL (@paintedblackstl), a collective of Black artists in St. Louis, to commission four free-standing murals for families to take pictures with throughout Dogtown.
St. Pat's Day Dogtown is by Jessie Donovan (@jessie.dnvn) and welcomes people into Dogtown at Dewey International Studies School, on the corner of Clayton and Central.
Eugenia Alexander (@eugeniaalexand) was inspired by Ireland's beauty. Per the artist "All of these plants are native Irish plants. You know me I’m the plant lady 🥰 and I didn’t want to go traditional st Patrick’s day art but more of a representation of Ireland and it’s beauty." This 7ft mural is located in St. James the Greater School.
Kyla Hawkins (@khawkart2.0) painted Brigid the Celtic goddess of fire, creation, & poetry. The mural is located at Wilkinson Early Childhood Center, on Prather. From her Insta: Kyla is "a realistic portrait artist breaking into POP SURREALISM".
Shockin' Shamrock is a fictional Dogtown superhero created by Tyler Harris (@e7_t.a.s.h). It is located on the backlot at The Pat Connolly Tavern.
And thanks to our incredible sponsors for allowing us to make COVID-safe programming possible in Dogtown this year:
