| Mary Sprague: Trees Duane Reed Gallery | Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., September 12 until Sat., October 18 | Clayton | |
 Trees often get lost in the landscape — in fact, they usually go completely unnoticed until they're gone. And even when we do pay attention to them, we see each of these woody plants as a whole rather than as the sum of its parts: That cluster of leaves provides us shade, but we don't... More >> |

| Persuasive Politics: Presidential Campaign Memorabilia Saint Louis University-Museum of Art | Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., September 5 until Sun., December 21 | St. Louis - Midtown | |
 In retrospect, why was Richard Milhouse Nixon electable? Kennedy drank his milkshake in the 1960 election, and his hangdog expression and dour nastiness didn't improve with time.
