St. Charles Business Alliance adds public arts tour to Travel St. Charles App

After the successful addition of the St. Charles Historic Walking Tour to the Travel St. Charles App, the St. Charles Business Alliance is launching the St. Charles Public Arts Tour on the app.

The St. Charles Public Arts Tour will feature more than 20 different stops and feature the various, beautiful public art and their locations in St. Charles.

Sculptures, murals and more will all be available to find on the tour.

All stops on the tour are narrated by St. Charles Arts Council president Sue McDowell.

She said she enjoyed getting to share information about the public art available in St. Charles.

"St. Charles is home to an astounding amount of public art, many of which people may not know about," McDowell said. "Getting to partner with the Alliance and promote the public art here in St. Charles was an amazing opportunity. We hope everyone can take the tour on the app."

St. Charles Business Alliance Executive Director Jenna Sawicki said this was a great collaborative effort.

"Art is so important to St. Charles and the unique culture we have here," Sawicki said. "We love getting to showcase it for everyone to find all the amazing works we have here."
