About me:

The Luminary | Center for the Arts is an alternative studio and gallery space housed in a historic former Convent across from the Kingshighway entrance to Tower Grove Park. We are an artist-run space that engages emerging artists, our local community, and other like-minded organizations through a diverse offering of events, services, and programming.

The Luminary merges the ideas of art and service, providing space to artists in exchange for bartered projects, opening our space for free use to the public and bringing the community into direct contact with the diverse landscape of contemporary art.

We are located at
4900 Reber Place
Saint Louis, MO 63139.

For more information, visit http://theluminaryarts.com or contact us at theluminaryarts@gmail.com.

..Open Studio Times..
Artists of any medium are invited to use our space to work on Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday from 2-9p and Saturday from 12-7p.
We have large, well-lit, well-ventilated spaces for artists to work, as well as an at-cost cafe with locally-roasted Mississippi Mud coffee, and an arts and literature library for public use.

Our private studio spaces are now available for lease. We encourage all those interested to connect in open studio times until private space become available. Contact us by message or email theluminaryarts@gmail.com for more information.

Who I'd like to meet:

Brea McAnally (photography, mixed-media)
The Mirror Stage (music)
Christine D'Eprio (drawing)
Christie Norrick (sculpture, painting)
Chris Sagovac (collage, mail art, painting, video)

    Hi Luminary and McAnnallys, wanted to drop a line and say I haven't forget about you all. I intend to come by in the next month, before or after a trip to CA.
    Will you be in during the open studio times after this coming weekend?

    Fortunately I've been working on my own studio space in my house. Unfortunately that means I'm not there... but I still really want to be a part of the artist community there so let me know what the next show/meeting/book club happenings are!

    Go

    Hello friends and enemies, etc

    I have just installed an information kiosk in front of the building which was formerly a McDonalds, near the intersection of Grand and Chippewa.
    The piece is four sided, and reads, respectively,

    "THE COLLAPSE OF THE ST.
    LOUIS SCHOOL SYSTEM"

    "A MICROCOSM OF THE FAILURE OF AMERICA"

    third side is a map of St.
    Louis

    and on the fourth side, in restroom graffiti style:

    "CHAIN YOUR MAYOR TO A PIPE IN YOUR BASEMENT"

    "BEAT HIM TIL HE SINGS"

    "IT'S YOUR FAULT TOO"

    As this is an uncommisioned gift to the city of St. Louis, I doubt it will be there for very long. If you wish to view it, please feel free to pass by. I would guess that someone will damage and/or remove it within the next day or two.


    THANKS,
    Jason Wallace Triefenbach
