As summer turns to fall, it isn’t only the trees in St. Louis that develop some noteworthy flash: Local arts institutions get decked out, too. Museums hold openings, galleries put together new shows, theaters (well, some of them) kick off new seasons … and lots more.
It’s really too much for the average Jane to parse, so we decided to lend a helping hand — as we do every year — and pick the events that spoke to us as individuals (Laumeier After Dark is a perpetual staff favorite) and to the spirit of the city (is there anything more St. Louis than Paint Louis?).
The results are before you. They don’t represent every single great event that the arts community will host this fall — far from it — but each one will be fantastic. We guarantee it. So read on and prepare to fall into an artful autumn.
