Marriott St. Louis Grand Unveils Unique Custom Murals by Local Artist
St. Louis, MO, March 29, 2024 --(PR.com)-- Marriott St Louis Grand celebrated the unveiling of a unique art experience honoring the rich history and vibrant community of St. Louis on Thursday, March 14, known locally as 314 Day. Gateway Corridor of Stories by local artist Grace McCammond spans the length of the Gateway Corridor, each of its 22 wood canvas murals depicting a scene. This showcase can be enjoyed by guests, visitors, and residents alike.
Paintings include the 1904 World's Fair, the League of Women Voters rally in 1920, the Fox Theatre built in 1929, the Gateway Arch completed in 1965, and the Stanley Cup at Enterprise Center in 2019. Busch Stadium, Forest Park attractions, and many other historic events and landmarks are also shown.
“We’re very proud of our great city and wanted to display artwork that honors this heritage and is unique to the hotel,” said John Malkus, Director of Sales and Marketing. “Choosing the right artist for this project was essential.”
Grace McCammond worked full-time as a photo restorer and black-and-white lab technician while going to school part-time. She completed her BFA at the University of Montana and moved to St. Louis, where she began taking local commissions.
Malkus continued, “Grace's murals are found throughout St. Louis, and she really understood our vision, which made this collaboration a perfect fit. Now, we can show the tens of thousands of visitors we welcome annually the story of St. Louis and all there is to do and see during their stay.”
