Dear Friends,
Thanks to so many of you, the mission of Art Saint Louis continues! Of course there’s much to report on how our mission played out this year, but in light of the challenges we’ve faced I’m struck by the significance of ASL’s very existence, and so grateful for the generosity that sustained our work. This letter goes out with heartfelt thanks for every expression of kindness to ASL this year, whether given already or not yet. The story of our success is the story of your goodwill.
We love our new home in downtown St. Louis! Headlining our activity this year was the construction of a gallery/café hybrid in the Park Pacific building at 1223 Pine Street. Already, ASL’s superb gallery programming (a credit to our Artistic Director, Robin Hirsch) and our outstanding café partners, Mississippi Mud Coffee Roasters, are drawing more people to our gallery than ever before. They come to enjoy fine art, great coffee, free Wi-Fi and a beautiful neighborhood view. They peruse, hold meetings, study or just relax. It’s a space like no other in St. Louis. We invite you to stop by often and enjoy!
Thanks to everyone who shared in the opening reception for Art Saint Louis XXIX, our annual all-styles, all-themes, all-media exhibition!
Here's to everyone who made 2013 such an exceptional year of impact for Art Saint Louis. We thank you from the bottom of our heart for your encouragement and support!

Other than the throw-back to August temperatures(!), we couldn’t have asked for a better afternoon to spend enjoying local artists creating chalk art and open air paintings.
