The Shaw Neighborhood Improvement Association is dedicated to maintaining and improving the quality of life for all Shaw residents and the larger community of which it is part. The Historic Shaw Art Fair – founded in 1993 – aligns with this vision by hosting an important arts festival within the Shaw Neighborhood Historic District in the City of St. Louis featuring 120 visual artists, local music, art activities, children's art gallery, hands-on art, food and drink, and more in a wonderful setting.
