Riverbend Public Art at the Gateway Arch

Riverbend, a public art installation, opens at the Gateway Arch National Park September 22, 2-5pm with activity for kids and adults, the Sappington Creek Bluegrass Band and food trucks.  The 100-foot-long artwork, made of silver, mirror-like material that references the Arch, shows the navigable Missouri River, highlighting it as the primary means of Westward Expansion and the Gateway to the West for Lewis and Clark and those who followed.  Riverbend art work will represent the confluence with the Mississippi on the east and extend westward.  Artist Margaret Keller won the Critical Mass for the Visual Arts Public Works Project commission to create this artwork. On view through December 21, 2018 at Ely Luther Smith Square just outside the new main entrance to the Arch.
