Artists from the Maplewood’s Artists First are set to show their work at Lambert Airport, according to a press release. The group is a nonprofit that serves adults with disabilities, youth with and without disabilities, and current and former Armed Service members from the greater St. Louis area.
The exhibit, Different Filter, Different Lens: Artists First, features the works of individuals often referred to as “outsider artists,” those who have reinvented their selves by tapping into newly discovered creative talents.
The airport exhibition showcases three dimensional objects as well as paintings and collages, crafted in the Artists First studio with guidance by facilitators.
The show will be on display in the Lambert Gallery in the Terminal 1 baggage claim through January 1, 2017 with an opening reception on Sunday, September 18 from 3 to 5 p.m.
Artists First work can also be seen in Maplewood at Madosky Chiropractic (2175 South Big Bend) and the Maplewood Library.
