Cherokee Street Shows Off St. Louis with Flash Parade, Provides Exclamation Point to SGCI

From March 16-19, the art world’s eyes were on St. Louis. More than 1,500 printmakers and graphic artists from around the world descended on our city for Equilibrium, the Southern Graphics Council International’s (SGCI) annual conference, sponsored this year by the Sam Fox School of Design and Visual Arts.

SGCI’s convention is the largest convergence of its kind and it is a distinguished honor for any city to host the event. St. Louis finally had its chance to show the world what many of us have already know. The designers, artists, street performers and eclectic exhibits were thoroughly impressive, but the real star of the weekend was the City of St. Louis, and Cherokee Street in particular.
