Since arriving on the scene with Art Saint Louis last September, I’ve discovered and come to savor the sense of community generated by opening receptions like the one we hosted last Saturday. When the gallery is decked with the work of over 40 talented artists, most of whom are native to our region, it’s no surprise that an enthused crowd gathers for the occasion.

Thank you to everyone who joined us on Saturday evening, January 21, 2012 to celebrate our first two exhibits of 2012: "Memory," an all media show featuring works by 33 regional artists. The artworks in "Memory" deal with the sense of memory as interpreted by the artists working in all styles, themes, techniques and media. Also opening: "Sukkah City Annex: Defining & Defying Boundaries," featuring works by eight artists who interpret the Sukkah structure. We had an excellent reception with about 200 artists & friends in the Gallery to celebrate the exhibits.

Both new exhibits remain on view through February 23. The Art Saint Louis Gallery is FREE & open to the public. Both exhibits remain on view through February 23 with Gallery hours Monday & Saturday 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and Tuesday-Friday 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Learn more here.

Fortunately, we don't have to wonder here and now since the artist, Kate Snyder, happens to be showing this very piece in the current exhibit at Art Saint Louis, "Art Saint Louis XXVII, the Exhibition." I recently had the opportunity to catch up with her, and she indulged me an interview:
