Welcome to the Local Art Revolution!

At its heart, this is about our town, home state talent, hyper-local history and the iconic road that connects it all. Historic Route 66 turns 100 years in 2026, shining a global spotlight on our community - for long after too.

We believe art has the power to bring people together and help us see what makes a community unique. This is our chance to use art to beautify the town, while uncovering our heritage, history and heroes that make it all possible.

Show Me Artists was created to discover and spotlight hidden local talent in Missouri and all along Route 66. The mission is to re-focus local attention on supporting and accelerating the creative entrepreneurial journey. Art has a direct positive impact on tourism, the economy and the cultural identity of a town. Yet, only 1 in 10 artists are making a living with their craft. Together, we can change that.

Show Me Artists is a platform that connects communities to the hidden talent all around them, and makes it easy to shop local art online. Through a unique combination of an Online Art Store, a Hyper-Local Art Magazine, an Artist Spotlight Film Series and Immersive Seasonal Art Events, we’re showcasing art as the foundation of community.

Join us as we re-imagine the local Art Revolution together, and rediscover the most iconic art trail in the world!
