This is great community center/meeting space. I was here for a local networking event. The space…read morewas large enough to accommodate 20 or so vendors (with room to spare). There was also enough room for setting up a food station. There were also drinks available the evening I was there- local beer from a keg, specialty cocktail of the evening, or soda. The building is obviously very old, but the interior seems very well kept. Seems like it was many buildings that have been converted into one- remember to look up while inside to see the unique architecture making up the roof/ceiling! There were some local kids running around the place, eating pizza, and playing games during the networking event. They were welcomed with open arms by the folks running the event. That just shows how awesome the owners are- welcoming everyone and really becoming a part of the community.

If you find something you prefer to stare at for a while, take a load off and grab a seat at one of the bistro tables or sofa chairs. Art Saint Louis displays various forms of visual contemporary artwork by some of our regions most talented artists. Artists from Carbondale, Illinois to Chesterfield, MO have beautiful pieces for your viewing pleasure.

My latte and scone were delicious and the staff very friendly. I haven't really explored the art, but the space extends way back into the building, and there are places to sit throughout. Also, bonus, you can bring your dog inside to order coffee! The only thing for improvement I can see is if it could be clearer what the relationship is between these two spaces, and whether coffee patrons are allowed back in the art space with food. Some people walked in clearly looking for a place to have a meeting, and they were guides back into the art space, whereas they moved some stuff around so I could sit in the coffee shop area - is there some protocol I'm missing?

We happened…read moreto be driving by one night and saw what looked like one hell of a party, complete with hula hoopers and a fire pit. Intrigued, we wandered in. Hello yummy free hors d'oeuvres! We spent about an hour checking out the art and chatting with Bryan, the super-nice owner. The space is really cool and has huge windows facing Jefferson. On one side is "mojo studios" complete with funky furniture and a splatter-painted floor. The other side is more of your typical art gallery. They have openings on fridays every 2 weeks and we've been back a few times. Who doesn't love art openings? Super cheap date and easy way to instantly feel sophisticated!

I live downtown just a block away and I wanted to help paint the board ups. I don't currently have paint at my house but when I heard paint was being delivered for folks to come and paint the board ups, I headed out. Bryan, the owner of this gallery was there with a design in his head that would cover every single broken window on the street. Also, his design was very juvenile and crappy compared to the board ups that have been painted on Delmar. He wouldn't let anyone touch anything and we were certainly am emphatically told we were not allowed to paint. We were allowed to clean up after him if we wanted to. Ha! Screw that! I am an artist. I would've been a wonderful asset to this project. The only reason he's doing this is because he wants exposure for his gallery. I get that most artist are not team players and are used to working alone but this is a community event and should've involved all the people in the community that wanted to be there. When I arrived there were at least a dozen people there to help. When I left about 20 minutes later, when I realized I would have no input or ever see a paintbrush in my hand, there were two people left-- NO THANKS! I will never patronize this man's gallery or patronize him as an artist. Shame on you!

Each room has its own perspective and type or work, they are basically each an exhibit. The building is not big, but there is a lot of variety and good use of the space. I would recommend checking it out--if you are not looking to come home with new wall art, there are a lot of smaller items (postcards, prints, stickers, etc. of the larger work).

In fact, one year a couple of my photos were on display for a temporary "Cakeway to the West" exhibit back in 2015. So anyway, there are many small rooms that feature talented local artists and their specialties. Jewelry, paintings, photos, they're all there depending on which artist. I've also attended a couple events here, including a poetry reading. If you're in the Soulard neighborhood, be sure to swing by SAG. You'll also be greeted by three stl250 fiberglass cakes!
