"Art D Tour." Sauce Magazine, August 2008: P. 60. Art Dimensions, the oft-moving collective of local artists, wants to get you on the move, too. The second of three Art D Tours means shuttle buses transporting revelers to art galleries in University City, Grand Center, downtown, Maplewood, Clayton and the Saint Louis Art Museum, too. More than a dozen galleries, including the Mildred Lame Kemper Art Museum at Washington University, Craft Alliance, Bruno David Gallery, the Contemporary Art Museum of St. Louis, the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, the Sheldon Art Galleries, the Drive Agency, the Philip Slein Gallery, Hoffman LaChance Gallery and the St. Louis Artists' Guild, are on the list. It's a great way to see hundreds of intriguing works of art in a single frenzy of fun, and a number of the galleries will have hors d'oeurves, too. Consider parkting at Lumiere Place on The Landing. That way, you can go straight to the Art D Tour after-party at the casino, and your car will be waiting for you.
