Food. Wine. Art. And you’re invited. Art Saint Louis presents a month-long harvest of local talent, featuring some of our region’s finest artists, wineries, restaurants and home cooking. …Yes, you read that right, home cooking. Are you ready for the potluck to end all potlucks? Well, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. The centerpiece of Food, Glorious Food is an all-media, juried art exhibit that will feature works about and inspired by food and beverage by artists who live and work within a 200-mile radius of St. Louis. Food, Glorious Food will be presented in our North Gallery, concurrent with Honor Awards 2012, an invitational exhibit featuring work by select 2011 Awards of Excellence winners.

A Mother of a Potluck
What happens when you invite over a thousand people to bake their favorite entree, side or dessert, and invite everyone to come and enjoy? We're going to find out! Join us for what promises to be quite a special prelude to Mother's Day, replete with recipe swaps; door prizes; wine tastings by Augusta Winery, Montelle Winery and Stone Hill Winery; and live art by Megan Rieke and Henryk Ptasiewicz. |
The call for entries for Food, Glorious Food was open to artists 21 year of age or older residing in the St. Louis area and surrounding 200-mile radius. From 119 artworks submitted by 65 artists for consideration, Jurors Allyson Mace and Linda Pilcher selected works by 51 artists for the exhibition. A highlight of this special exhibit is that all works are sized 14" or smaller and are all priced $300 or less. Works in the show include ceramics, painting, analog & digital photography, mixed media, paper, printmaking, sculpture, and much more.
