North St. Louis Creative Field Guide

The North St. Louis Creative Field Guide is a publication organized by the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis (CAM) that shares artworks, essays, and other creative contributions generated from a resident- and artist-led project of the same name. For over thirty years, CAM has been a neighbor to significant and historic communities to the north. In 2024–25, members of a working group who live and work in North St. Louis embarked on a project to treat nature as an art studio that creates wellbeing, community building, and renewed investment in place. This full color book includes contributions from project curator Michelle Dezember; lead artists Dail Chambers and Juan William Chávez; community engagement lead Alexis Creamer; and working group members Cary Brown, Gabi Cole, AleXeana harlem, Tosha Phonix, Rev. LaQuindlyn Shanae, Ronda Smith Branch, and Frankie Williams.
