  • St. Louis Street Performers United Voluntary Best Practices Guidelines
    VOLUNTARY BEST PRACTICES GUIDELINES Street performers, also known as buskers, make a valuable contribution to our vibrant urban fabric. We want to encourage street performances while respecting the reasonable expectations of the greater public to enjoy peace and quiet in their homes and the ability of businesses to conduct commerce. These voluntary guidelines seek to balance the interests of performers with those of residents, visitors and businesses. A respectful environment will create more opportunities for local street performers and make the region a welcoming destination for traveling artists. Following a court challenge, the City of St. Louis repealed its overly broad street performer ordinance in October 2013. Elsewhere in the region, other municipalities have not adopted street performer ordinances. So, street performers are free to perform in any public location, although they are subject to other regulations prohibiting disturbing the peace, obstruction of public passageways, aggressive panhandling and intrusive noise. Drafted by an interested group of participating street performers in collaboration with the St. Louis Volunteer Lawyers and Accountants for the Arts (VLAA) and the American Civil Liberties Union of Missouri (ACLU), this consensus document is based on the belief that street performers are largely self- regulating. Our common sense “time, place and manner” guidelines are not intended to prohibit or hinder artistic expression, which is protected by the First Amendment. The goal is to ensure that public areas remain safe and useful for their primary purposes while asserting the rights of street performers and other artists. Street performers who want to follow these voluntary guidelines can obtain a free annual St.
