Members of Spiritualized, the Jesus & Mary Chain and Gang Gang Dance make cameos on Sian Alice Group’s 2008 debut, 59.59. As might be expected from such a guest list, the London band often embraces the swirling, undulating density of shoegaze — although its songs are more than just a... More >>
The Big Read Festival Clayton High School Sat., October 11 Clayton
Reading seems to be on the verge of extinction, yet it's somehow flourishing like never before. Americans in 2008 read all the time — albeit somewhat distractedly on their computer screens. But is our hardcopy reading more mindful? Not so much. Enter the Big Read, a festival advocating in... More >>

The Safes Lemmons Sat., October 11, 9:00pm St. Louis - Tower Grove
The Safes — the Chicago trio of brothers Frankie, Michael and Patrick O’Malley — pound out raucous power-pop gems. But the band’s recklessly energetic rock music is deceptively simple: Its infectious songs display the sort of effortless proficiency and ease that few... More >>

more dates/times 		St. Louis - Riverfront
What is Artica? Well, it's reborn, first and foremost.

more dates/times 		Crestwood/Sunset Hills/Sappington/South Lindbergh

The Berlin Airlift: A Legacy of Friendship UM-St. Louis-Mercantile Library Daily from Sun., September 7 until Sun., October 12 North St. Louis County
Late in June of 1948, the Soviets cut off all ground and water access to Berlin in a Cold War stare-down. The plan was to starve the city so that it would be wholly dependent on the Soviet Union. Military brass in the Allied nations realized that an airlift of food and fuel could save the city... More >>
Birth of the Cool: California Art, Design and Culture at Mid-Century Washington University-Mildred Lane Kemper Art Museum Every week Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., September 19 until Mon., January 5 University City
From the 1950s to the mid-1960s, it seemed like everything and everyone in California was cool: Pierre Koenig and others were designing airy case-study homes, and Charles and Ray Eames' sleek furniture looked gorgeous in those types of spaces; painters including Karl Benjamin were creating...

A Fire Bright as Heaven Gaslight Theater Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., October 10 until Sun., October 19 St. Louis - Central West End
Republicans and Democrats alike can surely agree that the last seven years have been exceptional, if not surreal. List just the incidents that seem memorable enough to be written into the next generation's history books, and you have 9/11, the Patriot Act, wars in Afghanistan and Iraq,... More >>

Great Godfrey Maze Robert E. Glazebrook Park Every week Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., September 5 until Sun., October 26 Grafton/Godfrey/Alton
Like deliciously ripe homegrown tomatoes, the Great Godfrey Maze is only around for a limited amount of time each year. The corn stalks in Glazebrook Park (1401 Stamper Lane, Godfrey, Illinois) have been cut to reveal not only a maze but also a safari scene, and you can try to navigate through... More >>
Hair Washington University South Campus Theatre Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Wed., October 8 until Sat., October 18 Clayton
In the 1960s, Hair was introduced to an audience steeped in political and moral resistance. And after 40 years, Hair's transgressive blend of drugs, sexuality, free love and spirituality still has the power to shock, which is quite an achievement when you consider how jaded we as a society have...

Howl & Yowl Fall Festival Country Acres Rescue Sat., October 11
more dates/times 		Manchester/Ballwin
At some pet events, the animals are the ones having all the fun. But not at the free Howl & Yowl Fall Festival — this party is for people, too! From 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday (October 11 and 12), you'll have a chance to roast marshmallows, listen to live music, paint a... More >>
The Lieutenant of Inishmore Grandel Theatre Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Wed., September 17 until Sun., October 12 St. Louis - Grand Center
Padraic, too bloodthirsty and wild for the IRA's liking, is a free-range terrorist who keeps himself busy torturing people and setting off bombs in Northern Ireland.

The Light Project Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts Daily from Thu., September 4 until Fri., October 17 St. Louis - Grand Center
If you're wont to sneak into Grand Center by the westerly route, you've no doubt noticed the burnt shell of the Spring Avenue Church.

Lutz Bacher: Spill and Aïda Ruilova: The Singles 1999-Now Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., September 12 until Sun., January 4 St. Louis - Grand Center
Lutz Bacher: Spill is the first-ever solo exhibition by this prolific artist, which is surprising considering she first gained notice with her document collage piece The Lee Harvey Oswald Interview in 1976. What's more surprising is that Spill and its attendant art book SMOKE (Gets in Your... More >>
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 >>
Mysteries of the Great Lakes Saint Louis Science Center-OMNIMAX Daily from Thu., September 18 until Thu., April 16 St. Louis - Forest Park
After inches of rain were dumped on us by the remnants of Hurricane Ike, many of us are just plain sick of water.

Niki Missouri Botanical Garden Daily from Sun., April 27 until Fri., October 31 St. Louis - Tower Grove
Now that the Chihuly elation from the summer of '06 has finally fizzled out and the Chapungu exhibition of '07 has closed, St. Louisans are certainly ready for more artistic enchantment at the Missouri Botanical Garden (4344 Shaw Boulevard; 314-577-9400 or www.mobot.org). So how do you think a... More >>
Pepe Mar: Who Needs Guitars Anymore? and Aaron Henderson: Metamorphoses White Flag Projects Every week Wednesday, Saturday from Sat., September 20 until Sun., October 26 St. Louis - Forest Park Southeast
The title of artist Pepe Mar's upcoming gallery show asks a question that's sure to send all rock & roll survivors into a fit: Who Needs Guitars Anymore? It's a fair question, though Mar uses the six-stringed instrument (among other materials) to create vivid, monstrous creatures. His... 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. The answer is obvious: Nixon looked fantastic as a cartoon character. His campaign team capitalized on this with a... More >>
Primal The Chapel Every week Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Thu., October 9 until Sat., October 18 Clayton
The desire to tell a good story is a basic human need – we’re programmed to share our experiences. But despite humanity’s adaptability and versatility, we’ve fallen into a few set methods of sharing our stories. But there are options for new methods of storytelling, and... More >>

Sheldon Art Galleries Sheldon Concert Hall Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday from Fri., October 3 until Sat., February 14 St. Louis - Grand Center
When most people think of the Sheldon, they probably reflect on the building's "perfect acoustics." And while this venue is, in fact, a wonderful place to catch a concert, it also houses some swell art galleries. These art spaces are all adjacent to one another, yet they are separated by theme,...
