Art Fair at Laumeier and Art of the Vine

Laumeier Sculpture Park invites you to the annual Art Fair this Mother’s Day weekend. The Art Fair opens Friday, May 9 at 6:00 p.m. and continues through Sunday, May 11. The three-day event features 160 artists, music, entertainment, hands-on art activities for children, and a wide variety of food and drink. Among the 160 artists from 26 states and Canada are 12 returning award-winners from 2007.

The event kicks-off Friday night with Art of the Vine – a wine-tasting event featuring regional wineries including Stone Hill, Crown Valley, Peaceful Bend, Les Bourgeois, Saint James Winery and Meramec Vineyards.  A separate admission charge of $12, $10 for ArtLink members, gets you unlimited tastes.  Local R&B duo Mo and Dawn will perform, and a pair of interpretive performances by artist Tom Brady will highlight Friday night's entertainment in the Wine Garden.

Saturday’s activities will include a Jazz Festival sponsored by the City of Sunset Hills that includes performances by Lamar Harris and The Hot House Sessions. Creation Location, a hands-on art activity area for children, will be open during Fair hours on Saturday and Sunday.
