Site Map: The Ville
Located in North St. Louis, The Ville, one of the city’s most significant Black neighborhoods, situates projects engaging the urgencies of rebuilding and reimagining civic space following a devastating tornado in 2025. Centered around the historic Sumner High School, whose alumni include Tina Turner, Arthur Ashe, Dick Gregory, and Grace Bumbry, Counterpublic has continued to collaborate with the school and its students in shaping new works. Across surrounding neighborhood lots, churches, and community centers, artists propose vibrant approaches to history and resilient futures.
Counterpublic Visitor Hub open Thurs–Sun, 10 am–5 pm at 4142 Dr. Martin Luther King Drive.
Accessibility: The hub is ADA accessible and fully indoors with heating, cooling, and restrooms. Artworks are located in multiple locations across The Ville neighborhood.
