Art Saint Louis presents "Varsity Art XXI," our 21st annual invitational exhibition featuring 40 outstanding undergrad & graduate level art students representing 20 St. Louis regional universities and colleges from Missouri & Illinois.


This multi-media exhibit will feature 40 artworks in a variety of media including ceramics, digital imaging, drawings, graphic design, mixed media, painting, photography, printmaking, sculpture, video, and more. We invite you to take a sneak peek at the exhibit in our Facebook album here. After the show opens on March 3, we'll update the album with highlights from the opening reception.


One of the interesting features of this exhibit is the opportunity for Gallery visitors to Meet the Artists through our unique Artist Interview Videos which will introduce guests to each of our participating artists. This year's videos will be presented on a special monitor in the Gallery dedicated specifically for the artist videos. The videos are now posted on the Art Saint Louis YouTube Channel.


Another feature to this exhibit is that one artist's work will be selected to receive an Award of Excellence as being an "outstanding" artwork in the exhibition. That artist will then be eligible to submit artwork for Art Saint Louis' Honor Awards 2018 curated exhibition, a special show only open to artists who receive Awards of Excellence in our juried exhibits in the Gallery during 2017—this is considered quite an honor. The Summer 2018 exhibit will be curated by artist Brian D. Smith, Professor, St. Charles Community College.

PARKING RECOMMENDATIONS
There are parking METERS on Pine Street and Olive Street & other nearby streets. Parking meters run 8 a.m. until 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Fines are steep ($15-20), so don't let your meter expire. If you park at a meter for the reception, remember that meters operate in downtown until 7 p.m. on Saturday. For additional parking suggestions, download a free Downtown Parking Guide here. You can also download the handy Parkmobile app, whereby you can monitor & pay your parking meter via your mobile phone.


Hourly parking is available in the PARK PACIFIC GARAGE on Olive just West of Tucker (entrance is on the South side of Olive). Parking is at your own expense. For garage parking, pay by cash via a machine in elevator bay no more than 15 minutes prior to departure OR the easier way is to pay by credit card upon exiting the garage. Be sure to take your parking receipt/ticket with you when you exit your car to visit the Gallery or you won't be able to get back in to the garage to get to your garage. Your parking ticket is your key to get back in to the garage. Art Saint Louis cannot validate parking.

The Gallery is easily accessible by PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION with MetroLink and MetroBus with MetroBus stops on Olive Street and Tucker right near the building.
