Open Studios this weekend
The Open Studios project put on by the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis is in it’s third year and each year it gets bigger and bigger with more artists participating. This project is open to any and all artists living in the general St. Louis area and encourages people to visit artists studios to see completed works, works in progress and to get an idea of an artist’s working environment. There’s been a little controversy with certain aspects of this years event but overall it serves a great purpose in promoting local art by a well respected institution. It’s clear by the growing number of artists who are participating that the art world in St. Louis is booming and let’s hope this boom is cultivated into an everlasting growth that will only benefit our great city.
