Pillars of the Valley: Poignant and Powerful Public Art by Damon Davis is an impressive art installation located in St. Louis' Mill Creek Valley. This significant project pays tribute to the history and community of the once-thriving predominantly Black neighborhood that was demolished for "urban renewal" in the late 1950s. Damon Davis, a nationally acclaimed artist and East St. Louis native, has created a sculptural monument that captures the essence of Mill Creek Valley's past and its place in the city's present and future.

To provide an enlightening experience, there will be a guided tour led by Emma Klues, Vice President of Communications & Outreach at Great Rivers Greenway. During the tour, visitors will learn about the project's significance, history, landscaping, the artist's intent, civic engagement, and interviews with past residents. The Pillars of the Valley is a collaboration between CITYPARK SC, Great Rivers Greenway, and the City of St. Louis. This art installation is part of the transformative Brickline Greenway, a network of paths and places designed to enhance the St. Louis region.

To gain further insight into the project, viewers can watch a video featuring the artist's own words.
