The West End is home and workplace for many of St. Louis’ finest artists. ART EXPOSED brings much of this talent together for a special one day event in celebration of the visual and performing arts.
As part of the St. Louis Artist’s Coalition studio tour, Bill Kohn, Deborah Bauer and Jim Haack at 5949 Kingsbury and Kate Rosenbloom, Ken Anderson, April Yakowitz and John Rozelle at 6003 Kingsbury will open their studios for public tour.
This is a special opportunity to see and talk with artists in their creative environment and view their works in progress.
A group exhibit will feature the works of more than eighteen artists.
Some of the works will be on display in the 28th Ward Democratic Headquarters at 6010 Kingsbury and other works, weather permitting, will be displayed outdoors under a tent.
The exhibit includes painting, sculpture, weaving and fiber works.
A children’s art exhibit will include work from students at five neighborhood schools: Crossroads, Hamilton, New City, St. Roch, and Stella Maris.
The theme for the children’s show is “Our Neighborhood.” The headline musical entertainment for the day is the six piece jazz group, The Bosman Twins. Co-band leaders, Dwight and Dwayne Bosman, are known for their talent in creating some of the finest and clearest sounds possible on woodwind instruments.
The group is back by popular demand following their performance last fall as part of the “Four Evenings at Four Corners” concert series. Al Rosenkoetter, guitarist, and flutist Virginia Britten-Williams are also back for a repeat performance this year.
They will play at the group exhibit in the 28th Ward Headquarters beginning at 10:30 a.m. New City School’s children’s chorus will entertain throughout the day outdoors and with the group exhibit.
All of the ART EXPOSED ’87 events are offered free of charge.
The program is sponsored by the West End Neighborhood Arts Council and the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council and is funded in part by a grant from the Regional Arts Commission.
