ART OUTSIDE ARTIST WAITLIST

Overview:

Established in 2004, Schlafly’s Art Outside Festival is an art fair in St. Louis, dedicated to showcasing local art in an approachable venue and manner. Art Outside is not an ordinary fair, but one that features quality and affordable art, music, and plenty of tasty food and drink from Schlafly Beer. Hosted at the brewery’s Bottleworks location in Maplewood, Missouri, Art Outside draws approximately 15,000 visitors each year. The festival’s mission is to increase public knowledge and appreciation for the local art scene by creating opportunities that connect artists, musicians and the community.

Art Outside will present up to 66 artist booths this year. Art Outside seeks art that is “edgy”, imaginative and outside the general realm of other mainstream art fairs.
