In the final event of our Arts Then & Now series, your friends at the Chatillon-DeMenil House are getting out to explore more of the neighborhood. At the western end of Cherokee Street, an intact turn of the century streetscape is a perfect setting for art. This free event is brought to you with support from the Regional Arts Commission.
Drawings, photos, collages and love letters from the three workshops in this series will be on display at Ft. Gondo, as well as historical documents and artworks connecting the two ends of Cherokee Street. (A reception for the community will be held on Friday, October 30).

“Love Letters to Cherokee”
Posted by Lyndsey Scott on October 17, 2009 | Leave a Comment
Hope to see you @ CAMP tomorrow! We’ll meet @ 1pm to learn/draw and then walk to the all new jardín Reál to celebrate. . . !
From Lynn Josse & the Chatillon-DeMenil House:
“Our October “Arts Then and Now” events are on the road, exploring how our neighbors on Cherokee Street are inspired to mingle art and architecture. First, we’ll meet inside CAMP to draw and brainstorm together. Taking cues from old photographs and advertisements together with current photos, fliers, and news clippings – we’ll let our imaginations explore what the street has been and can be. Then we’ll make copies of our sketches and stroll around the neighborhood affixing these images and messages with magnets where people can interact with them. No worries if you’re not an ‘artist’ — if you’ve got attentive eyes, willing hands, and a sense of humor you’re well equipped to play this game!”

More Good!

The Firecracker Press and All Along Press have been picked for this year’s Riverfront Times “Best Of” issue in the category of “Best New Local Art Trend”. We’re listed with several other local print studios, all using printmaking in wildly different ways. They forgot to highlight studios like Lock & Key Press, Pele Prints, and Cherokee’s own Porter Toleo, and Sleepy Kitty to name a few but they’re right to recognize the wave of printing that’s taking St. Louis by the nards. Thank you RFT!
