University City has a strong community culture with a rich tradition of
excellence in the creative and performing arts. There are ample
opportunities for citizens to enjoy a hobby while becoming involved in
the community. The University City Orchestra, Optimist Club, U. City in
Bloom and U. City Lions are just some of the civic interest groups that
residents can join.
The University City Loop on Delmar Boulevard is an
eclectic mix of restaurants, galleries and specialty shops. Located in
a five-block area near Washington University, the Loop is also home to
the elegantly restored Tivoli Theater which showcases both foreign
films and films in limited release and the St. Louis Walk of Fame.
A number of art organizations are located in this
district including the St. Louis Symphony Music School, Craft Alliance
gallery and teaching studio and Center of Contemporary Arts teaching
and performance space. Each year the U. City Loop is the site of
occasional special community events like the Fair in the Square, Loop
in Motion Festival and the annual bike race sponsored by the Big Shark
Bicycle Company.
