ARTS IN ACTION STAGE

In cooperation with the annual Saint Louis Art Fair held in downtown Clayton, Missouri each September, Art Saint Louis curates, organizes and supervises two days of live demonstrations by regional artists for the Arts in Action Stage.

2009 Saint Louis Art Fair

For the past 15 years*, Art Saint Louis has participated in the annual Saint Louis Art Fair by presenting the Arts in Action stage (*the first year we participated, ASL hosted a beverage sales tent). The Arts in Action stage features two days of live art demonstrations by both Art Saint Louis member artists as well as artists featured in SLAF.

Once again, Art Saint Louis presented the Arts in Action stage at this year's 16th annual Saint Louis Art Fair, presented September 12-13, 2009. The Arts in Action stage was located on N. Central Avenue at Maryland Avenue, between Il Vicino and House of Wong. Participating artists from this year's event are listed below.
