I wanted to share a couple of photos from the past two art exhibits at Pieces: The St. Louis Board Game Bar! They hosted a fun dog-themed art exhibit through the month of September, and are now hosting a cat-themed art exhibit this month. You can find a few of my illustrations for sale, along with some other beautiful artwork! Proceeds from the art sales benefit Tenth Life Cat Rescue.

Check out Pieces for a huge selection of board games you can play while you drink and eat. I highly recommend their yummy vegetarian options, including the rice bowls and cookies.

Here are a few of my illustrations that were on display at SOHA Studio and Gallery's annual Holiday Gift Show this past December. I always enjoy visiting this show, and usually come away with several new treasures. This year was no different - I found a beautiful glass ornament and fun illustrated card to take home! December's show featured a collection of wearables, ornaments, housewares, and art by over sixty St. Louis makers. Thank you to those of you who supported St. Louis artists!

Two Upcoming Art Events

I'm excited to be attend two upcoming art events: The Krampus Art Show & Festival, and Rag Dolls, Robots & Rocketships.

The Krampus Art Show & Festival at the Koken Art Factory is this weekend, Friday & Saturday night (6 pm - 1 am both nights). Koken will embrace the creepy, frightening and theatrical environment that represents the traditional European Christmas fairytale character, Krampus. Guests are encouraged to dress for the theme and to participate in the costume contest by wearing extravagant costumes. With wall to wall art, devilish entertainment, and live art, guests will be introduced to a new view of Christmas. Admission: $5 , but patrons that bring an unwrapped toy to donate to Toys for Tots, will get free admission to the show! RSVP to the Facebook event here.

Rag Dolls, Robots & Rocketships is a month-long exhibition at the Foundry Art Centre. The exhibition runs Friday, December 6, 2013 – Friday, January 17, 2014. The opening reception is Friday, December 13, 2013 from 6-8 pm. The public can enjoy free food & drink along with artful conversation and observation. The artist studios on the second level of the Foundry Art Centre will also be open to the public for visiting. Admission, as always, is free. RSVP to the Facebook event here.
