ARTstravaganza

The St Louis Artists’ Guild was once again abuzz with the excitement of ARTstravaganza 2013 in mid-November. At times, the parking lot was nearly filled to capacity as patrons entered the show. Twenty five Best of Missouri Hands general and juried members from across the state filled both levels of the elegant restored mansion. The acoustic bluegrass rock music of Pik’n Lik’n added to the event throughout the weekend. A special treat was wine tasting provided by Sugar Creek Winery and Vineyards of Defiance, Missouri.

Thanks to Novachrome Digital Design & Imaging for providing the banner and posters, designed by Juried Member Allison L. Norfleet Bruenger, who also designed our postcards and print ad.

Juried Member Robin Ragsdale of Even Better Images and Rich Montague of Minuteman Press Brentwood provided additional graphics support.

Thanks to Joyce Rosen of The Arts Live for support of the show. The City of Clayton and Fontbonne University also provided support.

We thank the Regional Arts Commission for providing funding support, including classroom visits by regional artists. Lastly, we thank Kathryn Nahorski and the board, staff, and members of St Louis Artists’ Guild for providing such an elegant venue in which to display the artwork of our members.
