What's the dish?
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.

Interview with Kate Snyder

Kate Snyder. Arsenic and Old Lace inspired belt buckle. |
Imagine yourself as a child 100 years from now discovering in your grandfather's attic an old dusty chest. Rummaging through it, a small item catches your eye: a metal bracelet. You hold it in your hand and notice that each link in the chain resembles the book cover of a different fairy tale. On the inside of each cover is illustrated, in small careful detail, a scene from each story. Who created this and why? To whom was this bracelet given and who wore it? You wonder all of these things as you try it on.
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:
