For the 21st consecutive year, graffiti artists from across the globe descended upon St. Louis this Labor Day weekend, transforming a stretch of flood wall near the Arch into an outdoor gallery of street art. Covered in paint and sweat, men and women and even one thirteen-year-old kid all braved the 90 degree temperatures to share their artistic vision at Paint Louis.

Armed with an (admittedly cheap) wide-angle lens, we spent time at the event on Saturday and Sunday afternoon, catching murals in various states of completion. Click through for some of our favorite shots from Paint Louis 2018.
