A Mother of a Potluck!

Saturday, May 12, the day before Mother’s Day, provides another occasion to enjoy great food and art in downtown St. Louis. We cordially invite you to a casual, community-wide potluck and recipe swap at the Art Saint Louis gallery. What better way to ring in Mother’s Day than to enjoy a smorgasbord of home cooking and original artworks inspired by food! Adding to the flavor of the evening will be door prizes by Foodie STL, wine tastings by Stone Hill Winery, and live art by Henryk Ptasiewicz and Megan Rieke.
