Visit often to see how the exhibits by our resident artists change!

Resident Artist Diana Bono recently updated her display with more current works. The overall feel of these works is very colorful and bold in color, reflecting possibly the change in seasons.

Our new spring guests!

Framations (or at least our windowsill) has become the new home for two adorable pigeons! They are making a nest (and something to put in it!) as we speak. Our own little lovebirds, Amy has named them A & E (after a couple names Sarah has picked out for her upcoming expected delivery of her own).

Retired Division of the MAEA

This exhibit presents the work of the art educators who have retired from full time teaching and are members of the Retired Division of the Missouri Art Education Association. The Missouri Art Education Association is a professional association that is made up of art educators who teach from kindergarten thru the university level. M.A.E.A. has been organized since 1936 and is now the fifth largest state art education association in the United States with over eight hundred members. Based on the belief that all people have abilities and needs for creating and understanding art, the mission of the Missouri Art Education Association is to advocate quality visual arts education by supporting creative teaching, providing opportunities for professional development and encouraging the study and implementation of best practices in our discipline.
