Join us on Saturday, April 26, 2025 for Art Saint Louis' spring fundraiser La Vie En Rouge! This benefit/auction to raise essential funds in support of Art Saint Louis is also an exclusive opportunity to experience the reveal of the new brand + visual identity of Art Saint Louis as we build on our work over the past 40+ years and reposition the organization as the visual arts nexus for the region.
We’re creating access and a pipeline for, yes, local visual artists, but also for curators, gallerists, art writers, critics and art collectors. We are proud to be an integral part of establishing a national identity for Saint Louis as a place where exceptional fine art is not only celebrated but also where it is made.
You’ll find yourself intersecting in new ways with individuals and communities, creating pipelines for each pixel or mark made in this visual art ecosystem as we enter this new chapter.
Revel in the:
- music, local bites, and curated cocktails
-one-of-a-kind Saint Louis auction featuring the culture and
community of our City's neighborhoods, and of course,
-exceptional current visual art from artists who live and work in Saint Louis & within a 200-mile radius of our home in the City of Saint Louis
-- as we present to you your new Art Saint Louis, inclusive of the expanded Saint Louis Gallery Guide.
It all comes together to reveal and support the unique capacities and experiences that shape the hope of the Saint Louis region as a plural point of view, a vortex, a nest, a bridge to living and staying present in our community's vital visual art -- La Vie En Rouge -- the good life.
Purchase your tickets safely online here and then join us to celebrate on April 26!
We are pleased to announce that our next call for entries has just been published for our Summer 2025 exhibition, Confluence.
Confluence, a juried visual art exhibition, will consider original artworks that that explore our place at the meeting of the rivers, including images with landscapes, nature, river life. We will also consider other interpretations of the theme, which might include imagery that addresses what it means to join together or merge ideas, cultures, communities. All explorations and interpretations of the theme are considered. deadline: March 31, 2025. You can learn about the exhibit and review our rules of entry here.
Due to the additional snow and ongoing poor road conditions in the St. Louis region, we are going to postpone our reception for the Gasp exhibition. What with 60 artists in the exhibit and some of them traveling to St. Louis from locations a bit further than just the STL metro area, we feel that postponing our event is the wise choice for all. So, please join us, won't you, on Saturday, January 25 from 5 to 7 p.m. for a free reception for this new exhibition.
Gasp does begin tomorrow, Saturday, January 11, and continues through Wednesday, February 12 with regular Gallery hours (M-F 8 a.m.-4 p.m., Sat. 9 a.m.-3 p.m.). Closed January 20 for the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday.
Thank you for your patience and understanding and we wish you all safe travels if you really do have to venture out into the winter weather.
As we enter the 2024 holiday season, we are reminded of the power of community and the importance of supporting the visual arts and their capacity to pull us out of isolation, relaying something of transcendent meaning to people from all walks of life. We’re reminded that through their exploration, experimentation, care, and skill, visual artists vitally provoke the social and spiritual consciousness of our community; and that, by nurturing the development of art, our community is more apt to appreciate subtlety, respect individuality and celebrate diversity. This Giving Tuesday, December 3, 2024, we invite you to be a part of something special at Art Saint Louis!
Our recent move to a new home and larger location at 2801 Locust Street in Midtown's historic Oakland Building marks a pivotal moment for our organization. Our lovely new gallery offers expanded exhibition space so we may feature more regional artists in our juried group exhibitions, and expanded seating in our beautiful Catalyst Coffee Bar adds an alternative shared workspace and third space for Midtown Alley’s creative professionals and university communities.
As we look ahead to 2025, we are excited to expand our programming and deepen our commitment to the local arts community by making a significant impact on the city's art ecosystem. We aim to raise $60,000 before we close 2024 to support our upcoming initiatives and projects: expanding Art Saint Louis' exhibition program, creating confidence and community around art collecting through our Couch Conversations series, and expanding digital features for greater neighborhood and district connection and awareness of the vast galleries in the area with our Saint Louis Gallery Guide.
However, to make these visions a reality, we need your continued support. Your donation is essential to help us continue our mission – to serve as a nexus for the region's visual arts and expand opportunities for Saint Louis’s regional artists.
Your contribution, no matter the size, will help us achieve this goal and make a positive impact on our community. Click here to donate today.
Together, we can ensure that art continues to thrive in our community. Thank you for considering a donation this Giving Tuesday. Your generosity makes our work possible, and we are incredibly grateful for your support.
Wishing you a joyful holiday season!
Warm regards,
Francesca Passanise
