Mill Creek: The Harlem of St. Louis

St. Louis has always been a hub for art, music, and Black culture. Mill Creek, often coined the Harlem of St. Louis, shaped exceptionally talented people, and its impact on American culture cannot be understated.
Join us for exciting Mill Creek—inspired music and dance performances by HEAL Center for the Arts and Carrie Collins-Whitfield before a conversation with Curator Gwen Moore by St. Louis media mainstay Carol Daniel, discussing how Mill Creek and Black Culture intersect as a major influence on pop culture today.
Come back for more! Thursday Nights at the Museum are sometimes the most fun, sometimes the most thought-provoking, and always the most interesting night of your week. The museum exhibits are open late, and you’ll enjoy cash bar and food for purchase, pop-up activities, lectures, and more.
ASL interpretation is available for programs with two weeks' advance notice. Please email [email protected] to request ASL interpretation or with other accessibility questions.
