This is the last City Nights of the season — don’t miss it!

Celebrate the art and artists of our inimitable city by collaborating on a collective art piece in one of the most unique places in STL! St. Louis Arts, Garden Heart Productions, and St. Louis-based artist McCrae present PIECES: An Interactive Art and Music Experience.

PIECES is an immersive, multi-sensory experience within City Nights that invites guests to unleash their creative side and explore how art, dance, and music connect us. Each installation—painting, puzzles, and performances—represents an individual ‘piece’ of a larger whole. As attendees move through the area, they contribute to collaborative art forms, culminating in a shared sense of creation and connection.

The PIECE
At the heart of this project is a recently discovered geometric shape known as “The Hat,” or the Einstein tile. It is a single shape that tiles infinitely without ever repeating the same pattern twice. This discovery, made in 2023, bridges mathematics, design, and art in a way that invites endless creative participation.

The Interactive Mural
Guests collaborate on a live mural guided by local artists. Participants are invited to paint small portions under artist direction as the mural evolves throughout the evening. The final composition symbolizes the collective creativity of all attendees.

The Community Puzzle
Each guest receives a puzzle piece as they enter. Guests add their piece to a large communal puzzle within the event space, revealing a final image that represents unity and togetherness.

The Music & Dance Zone
A vibrant space featuring live interactive dance performances and real-time musical collaboration. Performers and musicians feed off audience energy, encouraging guests to move, groove, and express themselves freely.
