Bill Christman and Keith Spoeneman are creating a gallery, Ars Populi (Latin for Art of the People) at 6010 Kingsbury, formerly the SciFi Lounge, one door west of the Skinker-DeBaliviere Community Council.
The gallery will open with assemblages by Keith Spoeneman and black and white photographs of Connamara, Ireland, by filmmaker Bob Quinn. Several soft openings will begin on Thursday evenings from 7-9 p.m. to coincide with the music events at Joe’s Cafe next door. Additional hours will be on weekends and by appointment (862-2541).
The original tenant of the space was St. Roch ‘ s Church, from 1912, until the completion of the present church on Waterman in 1922. Ars Populi intends to exhibit the work of artists rarely seen in traditional St. Louis galleries. Future artists will include portraits by Chris Reuss, Gaslight Square photos by Thelma Blumberg, and small sculptures by Dewey Dempsey. For more information, call 862-2541, or stop by on Thursday.
