Art Exchange

St. Louis-Lyon Sister Cities, Inc. sponsors an annual International Art Exhibition with one show in St. Louis and one show in France.

The St. Louis Art Exchange Show takes place at the World Trade Center in St. Louis, usually in the summer.

We select between 50 and 70 works of art from our members to be in the St. Louis exhibition, and between 18 and 25 works are sent to France.

 

This is primarily an international cultural exchange, not for the purpose of selling art, although interested collectors are free to contact the artists themselves for acquisitions or commissions.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of participation is traveling to Lyon for the reception/vernissage.

Meeting the French artists, the group dinners, and excursion in the region the following day make the trip a fulfilling experience.

 

Each year we include some enthusiastic new participants, as some of the previous artists may have other commitments and choose not to participate each time. There is a nice variety of media, age and skill level represented, from amateur to creative professional.
