These queer women, non-binary and genderfluid individuals, these artists of color, of all different walks of life, backgrounds, we are PROUD to have them be a part of our community and make it ever so rich with their presence and their art!! ◇ Today we continue to share from our Female Gaze Show back in March and April, because we are so incredibly proud and thankful for these artists who have made St. Louis Ladys' Art Guild possible! Who have made our Female Gaze Show possible! We value these artists' voices and talents so much, and we are proud of all the moves they make to continue to share their voice and their power to this world!!

✨️..AND WITH THAT, FEMALE GAZE COMES TO AN END✨️ ◇ Yesterday was the last official day of our Female Gaze members' exhibition. ◇ We again want to thank ALL of our members who participated and volunteered, ALL of the people who came out opening night and after to celebrate this magnificent collective of female and femme work with us, and EVERYONE who worked behind the scenes to make this all a possibility to begin with!! This wouldn't have been a success without all of you!! ◇ Though we are just as sad as you to see this show come down, this is definitely not the end of the Female Gaze! We still have LOTS to celebrate, lots of photos to still post, stories to share, and artists to commemorate!! Just because the show is no longer up does NOT mean the spirit and power from that show is gone! Will we still be here to share the voices of our beloved female and femme artists! ◇ With that all being said, it is indeed time for you, our lovely Female Gaze Artists, to pick up your pieces! Per Artisans in THE LOOP's request: "Please come by the gallery April 16 - 19th Hours: Wednesday 12 - 6, Thursday 12 - 7, Friday 12 - 7, Saturday 12 - 7. Sunday, we are closed. Try not to come at the very end of the day, but if you are running late, feel free to call Artisans landline if you need outside hours to pick up." ◇ We're sad to see this show go.. but EXCITED for all the new shows and artistic opportunities that await our members! Make sure to follow all the absolutely talented artists we tag in our posts, to follow @artisans_in_the_loop, your local art galleries, spaces, and organizations, and to follow us to keep up with what the STL artscene has for you next! ◇ Thank you ALL again for your support! Keep doin what you're doin Ladies and Gentle-theys! And we can't wait for you to be a part of next year's show!! 💖💖 ◇ ◇ Photo creds: @bethagart ◇ ◇ #stlartgallery #stlorganization #stlartscene #stlmade #womeninthearts #queerartists #pocartists #powerinart #powerfulwomen #feministart #thefemalegaze #bestofmissourihands #artandmentalhealth #artistsofstlouis
