8X8X8 / CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS 50th ANNIVERSARY-THE EXHIBITION AT FOUNDRY ART CENTRE
The Foundry Art Centre is excited to unveil its final exhibitions of the year: 8x8x8 and Christmas Traditions® 50th Anniversary – The Exhibition.
8x8x8 returns for its fourth year, offering artists a unique challenge: What can they create within a space measuring 8x8x8 feet? This year's participants, Steve Jones, Dee Levang, Carolyn Lewis, Jasmine Raskas, Jeremy Rabus, Kirby Kogut, Maxine Thirteen, and the Foundry Studio Artists will fill one-third of the Main Galleries with their incredible works.
All pieces in this exhibition are available for purchase and can be taken home immediately, making it a great opportunity to support local artists and find one-of-a-kind holiday gifts.
Christmas Traditions® 50th Anniversary – The Exhibition celebrates five decades of the beloved St. Charles festival through a contemporary art lens. St. Louis-based artist Tiffany Sutton has reimagined the Legends of Christmas with stunning double-exposure photography. Accompanying mood boards and retired festival costumes offer a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of these iconic characters.
Additionally, the exhibition will showcase ever-popular commemorative trading cards from the festival's history.
Exhibitions open November 1st, 5-8pm, as part of the Foundry’s First Friday Series, featuring music, art activities for all ages, and more, and will be on view through December 22nd.
Hours: 10am - 5pm // Tuesday - Saturday
