New Gallery at Park Pacific Building to Combine Local Art and Coffee
CLAYTON, MO, (SLFP.com), May 5, 2013 - The Park Pacific building at 1226 Olive Street will soon be home to an unusual blend of coffee and culture by way of a gallery/café hybrid aimed at celebrating local talent. The move comes as the latest in a series of neighborhood projects led by downtown design and development firm Lawrence Group, owners of the Park Pacific building.
Adding to its 25 years downtown, including the last five years headquartered at 555 Washington Avenue, Art Saint Louis is moving its gallery and administrative offices to the Park Pacific building this summer. The organization is raising funds to renovate a 2,700 square foot retail space on the south side of the building, at 1223 Pine Street, where it plans to reopen in July and continue exhibitions and event programming focused on visual artists at work in the St. Louis region.
The space will also be home to a new coffee boutique owned and operated by locally-based Mississippi Mud Coffee Roasters. Company founder and owner Christopher Ruess, himself an artist (painter), sees an organic connection between coffee and art. "Savoring a cup of coffee is not unlike enjoying a work of art. You have to slow down and live with it a little."

The location will offer a weekly menu of specialty brews and will debut in the St. Louis market new pour-over "SoftBrew" techniques that are gaining popularity in Europe. Says Ruess, "People will see cutting edge work in the Art Saint Louis gallery. I want them to taste some as well."
"We're deliberately blurring the lines here," said Art Saint Louis Executive Director Chandler Branch. "We want this to be both a cultural and a social destination. The goal is to better serve artists and audiences, particularly by making more connections between the two groups."
In addition to the café plans call for outdoor seating, free WiFi and a dynamic rotation of designer furniture in the heart of the exhibition areas provided by Niche Home Furnishings and Design (also owned by Lawrence Group) as part of a marketing partnership between Art Saint Louis and Niche.
"Multiple Choice" at Grafica Contemporary Fine Art
CLAYTON, MO, (SLFP.com), May 5, 2013 - The members of Art Group 360 will exhibit all new work, May 31 - June 28, 2013, at Grafica Contemporary Fine Art, located at 7884 Big Bend Blvd in the heart of Webster Groves.
Art Group 360 includes works by artists - John Dean, Marie Donato, Janet Fons, Steve Morris, Lisa Ober and Linda Smith - in landscapes, figures, still lifes, urban scapes, and botanicals.
The exhibit will features each artist's unique theme in a grouping of small works done in a square format specifically for this show. It will also feature a portfolio of giclée prints of selected works by each artist.
Grafica Contemporary Fine Art was recently honored with Missouri's "Creative Community Award". Owners, Lary & Lynn Bozzay want Grafica to make art feel more "approachable" for their clients and visitors.
"Grafica is excited to bring you "Multiple Choice" by Art Group 360," said Lynn Bozzay. "The artistry, professionalism and diversity of the group will make this show a candy store for art lovers. Multiple talents with multiple images and multiple themes will create a stimulating environment."
