It’s coming! Art Exposed ’88 will bring a festival of the visual, performing and culinary arts to Four Corners Plaza (Kingsbury at Des Peres) on Sunday, October 16, noon-4 p.m. Artists in the area will open their studios for tour; a dozen or more artists will exhibit their work in a group show; students from area schools will display their work in a children’s art exhibit; and the popular group Jasmine will headline the musical entertainment with a two hour out-door concert.
A totally new event this year will be an “Edible Art” contest. Restaurants and caterers as well as individuals are invited to enter their culinary creations and compete for prizes. Entries in this contest will be auctioned at the end of the day. Art Exposed is an annual event of the West End Neighborhood Arts Council. WENAC has been awarded an $8,000 grant this year by the Regional Arts Commission to sponsor this event as well as a Children’s Arts Festival this winter, and a concert series next spring. WENAC must match the grant dollar for dollar, 50 percent in-kind, 50 percent cash.
All WENAC sponsored events, including Art Exposed, are open to the public and offered free of charge.
The Arts Council depends primarily on private donations to match grant monies. Art Exposed ’88 promises to be bigger and better than ever this year so mark your calendar now. Watch for flyers and the October Times for the exact schedule of events, a list of the exhibitors and studios open for tour, and details on the Edible Art contest.
