        GSLAA has been hosting art fairs at Queeny Park for more than 35 years. The fall and spring art fairs are two of the most reputable, longest-running juried art fairs in the bi-state region.

        The event features approximately 130 juried artists from around the St. Louis region and the United States, representing the following media: ceramics, drawing, painting, photography, jewelry, printmaking, digital art, glass, mixed media, fiber, sculpture, wood and more. The show will be judged by a nationally renowned panel awarding over $4,500 in cash and prizes.
