Description

Located in the heart of St. Louis's arts district, The Sheldon is the most acoustically perfect venue in town, hosting a variety of folk, rock, jazz and cabaret acts. The inimitable sound produced in the semicircular room renders the butt-numbing chairs barely noticeable. The Sheldon's small size can lead to inflated ticket prices, but this is one venue in St. Louis whose shows are actually worth every penny.

2003 | Best Curator

When Olivia Lahs-Gonzales left the Saint Louis Art Museum in 2001 to become director of the Sheldon Art Galleries, she faced a whopping challenge. Newly fashioned out of a former parking garage, the mazelike linked galleries have all the charm of Holiday Inn reception rooms, and they can't seem to shake the identity crisis born of their literal attachment to the better-known Sheldon Concert Hall (it's acoustically perfect, you know). Lahs-Gonzales remained undaunted, and this year she... More »

In the Galleries – Liquid Terrain: Works on Paper by Eva Lundsager at the Sheldon

By Jessica Baran | Thu, May 24, 2012
