Exposure 11 at UMSL’s Gallery 210 features St. Louis mainstays Andrew
Millner and Olivia Lahs-Gonzales, plus the relative newcomer Snail

Kansas City artist Karen Kay is the winner in the Missouri-based Art the Vote competition, an effort to bring art and advertising media together to encourage voters to go to the polls in November and to vote.

in this period, the show is mainly a curatorial tour de force."

See Sue Eisler's show at the Laumeier Sculpture Park and you will discover the transformation of materials, from paint cakes such as the one at right, to partnerless gloves that have been driven over to paper shoe templates left behind in a building she worked in years ago.
