After-Dark Arts

Just as the last flicker of light fades on the fall horizon, another equally illuminating vision will be aglow at the Saint Louis University Museum of Art (3663 Lindell Boulevard; 314-977-2666 or www.slu.edu/sluma). Art After Hours allows museum guests to explore three exhibits while enjoying complimentary A-B products and Gus' Pretzels. In the main gallery, Elusive Light: Michael Eastman Retrospective features an amalgamation of early photographs by Eastman, a St. Louis native, along with his more renowned works from the America, Cuba, Horses, Rodin, Abstractions and Palladiums series. Next, venture to the third floor and see an 89-year-old's ink illustrations of the book of Revelation in Revelation: The Religious Imagination of Russell Kraus. Additionally, Reflections: The Paintings of Nancy Newman Rice displays the Wash. U. alum's fascinating use of colored dots on canvas in the Community Gallery. Stop by the final Art After Hours Friday, November 30, from 5 to 7 p.m. All exhibits mentioned run through Sunday, December 16. Gallery hours are 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Wednesday through Sunday.
