Saint Louis Artists' Guild













Saint Louis Artists’ Guild

The Saint Louis Artists Guild (STLAG) believes that immersion in the arts and creativity improves the quality of life. Their tagline “Inspiring Art Experiences” inspires me and, as such, I was happy to venture out to the Clayton gallery space and be among those artists and art fans at the opening on January 13, 2023 in Clayton, MO.

An easel advertises classes for every age group and suggests that they are an inclusive and inviting home. A Community Painting Wall – Expressionism Art greets you at the Ramp Gallery before the walls reveal a featured display of The Mandala Project: An Artists Collective Nancy Early, Gray Finch, Maria Ojascastro, Valeria Priesto, Mary Beth Tipton was on view with a theme of Vision of Form and Space.

Tim Wagner is poised in front of a painting in progress that exemplifies the collaborative art making process. His wife and two small children and nearby adding a flavor of accessibility to the showing that opens up to several community artist works on view like those of Mark Witzling (director of the Craft Alliance) and Debbie Franke (painter/photographer) and painter Deena Boyer. Of course there is wine and cheese and it feels like a celebration of the creative process.
