It's on the southwest corner of Kirkwood Road and Woodbine,directly across Kirkwood Road from The Magic House.  However, what you see at that intersection is the old part of the building with no access.  The main parking lot and entrance is located behind the building opposite of Kirkwood Rd. Special spaces are available for visitors and handicap parking near the Main Entrance. There is an additional handicap parking lot on the Kirkwood road side of the building.

Meetings start at 6:30 with a social period, followed by an interesting art program or demonstration and then a short business meeting.  We also have special social gatherings during the year. These social events replace meetings, usually in July and December. Call to verify meeting dates.

MONTHLY CRITIQUES OF YOUR ART INCLUDING A PEOPLE'S CHOICE RIBBON
Bring one of your newest or best artworks to the monthly meeting and fellow members will write up a critique for you to read.  From the exhibiting artworks one 2D and one 3D artwork will be awarded the People's Choice Award by vote of the attending members.  Your art work must be at the meeting by 6:45pm.

JURIED FINE ART SHOWS
The GSLAA presents two nationally juried art shows each year, spring and early fall editions of our Art Fair at Queeny Park! Members volunteer their time to plan and operate these shows, the proceeds of which help to fund art education.

MEMBER EXHIBITS
During the year several membership exhibits are held in a number of different venues to give Exhibiting Artist members an opportunity to show their newest works.

SCHOLARSHIPS
Each spring, the GSLAA gives four one-time scholarships to art majors enrolled at greater St Louis area colleges  to help with furthering their education in Art. Awards are funded by proceeds from our art shows.

WORKSHOPS  & SPECIAL ACTIVITIES
THE GSLAA offers workshops designed to help artists grow their artistic and business skills.  We also are developing special activities such as the "Crystal Bridges Art Tour" so like-minded artists can share their knowledge, discuss mutual interests and develop new friendships.
