A special feature of this exhibit is that we have the opportunity for our featured artists to participate in brief Artist Interview Videos.

Videos are posted on the Art Saint Louis YouTube Channel and our social media platforms.


Another feature to this exhibit is that one artist's work has been selected to receive an Award of Excellence as an Outstanding artwork in the exhibition. The Award of Excellence goes to Jenna LeBlanc of Greenville University.
