Urban Asia Atrium Gallery	Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., September 11 until Sun., November 8	St. Louis - Central West End	Art Free Events
Nature's got beauty in spades, but urban areas certainly don't want for striking imagery either, though their splendor is mostly of the manmade variety. Of course, the flip side of every attractive, postcard-perfect cityscape is the real city and its inherent decay, which can be starkly... More >>

Chance Aesthetics Washington University-Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum	Every week Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., September 18 until Mon., January 4	University City	Art Free Events
What happens on canvas may not be what was intended to happen. The artist is a conduit channeling the creative impulse, sure, but mistakes happen. And many artists will tell you that a key element of making something is recognizing when an accident yields better results than the initial concept... More >>

Chess in the Great Hall St. Louis Public Library, Central Branch	Every week Monday from Mon., August 31 until Mon., January 4	St. Louis - Downtown	Free Events Games
When comic artist Lynda Barry spoke last year at the Central branch of the St. Louis Public Library's Great Hall (1301 Olive Street; 314-241-2288 or www.slpl.org), she mentioned that if she can come back from death as a ghost, she'll haunt this library because of its great beauty. Which led to... More >>

Munny Show 4.0 Star Clipper	Daily from Fri., October 2 until Fri., December 4	Delmar/ The Loop	Art Free Events Pop Culture
Adult life holds far too few creative opportunities for most of us, now that those kindergarten cubbies have given way to adult workday cubicles, enforced nap times have been replaced with an afternoon coffee, and Play-Doh and macaroni necklaces have given way to Blackberrys and Twitter. If... More >>

Between the Folds Missouri History Museum	Wed., November 11	St. Louis - Forest Park	Film Free Events
The Japanese art of origami seems nothing more than a beautiful diversion, or, depending on your manual dexterity, a frustrating one. But the act of transforming a flat piece of paper into a praying mantis involves complex mathematics — not that you need to know any particular formulae.... More >>

Jon Cournoyer: Empire of Dust Hoffman LaChance Contemporary	Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., October 16 until Sat., November 14	Maplewood	Art Free Events
Jon Cournoyer's large-scale collages have taken on a darker cast in the past two years. The work in his new show, Empire of Dust, still prominently features Edwardian-era figures and storybook animals, but the narrative beds of borrowed images these characters rest upon have changed. Cheerful... More >>

Prethunderdome White Flag Projects	Every week Wednesday, Saturday from Wed., November 4 until Sat., December 19	St. Louis - Forest Park Southeast	Art Free Events
With 2012 on the horizon — the reputed end date of the world according the Mesoamerican Long Count calendar, as if you didn't know — doomsday theories abound in popular media. And White Flag Projects (4568 Manchester Avenue; 314-531-3442 or www.whiteflagprojects.org ) has just the... More >>

Japonisme in the Graphic Arts Saint Louis Art Museum	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., October 2 until Sun., December 13	St. Louis - Forest Park	Art Free Events
Beautiful and exotic, Japan has been a subject of fascination for westerners ever since Commodore Perry "opened" the country to trade in the 1854. Nineteenth-century artists fell especially hard for the culture, and the Japanese color woodblock prints known as ukiyo-e, or pictures of the... More >>

Philip Slein: The Art Crowd Schmidt Contemporary Art	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., October 23 until Fri., November 20	St. Louis - Grand Center	Art Free Events See & Be Seen
Philip Slein runs a nifty art gallery on Washington that exhibits work by the most intriguing of contemporary artists, both national and local. But long before he dirtied his hands with commerce, Slein was an artist. And so for his first exhibition in seven years, Slein addresses the world he... More >>

Famous Fictional Villains Mad Art Gallery	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., November 6 until Tue., December 1	St. Louis - Soulard/Benton Park	Art Free Events
While most of the good people in the world are against villains, we've decided we're for some evildoers, at least the fictional ones. Just think about it: Books and movies would be so boring if we had to rely only on comic relief and touching moments. Of course, the Diane Keaton of today would... More >>

The Twelfth Hungarian Cartoon Festival: A Dialogue of Cultures Saint Louis University-Museum of Art	Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., October 23 until Sun., December 20	St. Louis - Midtown	Art Free Events
The 27 member nations of the European Union have 27 different cultures and almost as many languages. And while 2008 was the European Year of Intercultural Dialogue — it's always good to have a nice chat now and then, you know — in which language were the countries expected to... More >>

Roberley Bell: Inside Out Laumeier Sculpture Park	Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., October 9 until Sun., January 10	Crestwood/ Sunset Hills/ Sappington/ South Lindbergh	Art Free Events
Roberley Bell's artwork toys with the disconnect between how humanity perceives our control over the natural world. Her Flower Blobs, beautiful assemblages of miniature flowers that approximate gently distended spheres or free-floating dollops, touch on our relentless need to landscape and... More >>
