About the Art Collaborative

The Art Collaborative is an interactive forum designed to connect people with art and art with people through immersive, behind-the-scenes experiences. Facilitated by artist Judith Shaw, the group brings together artists, curators, and cultural organizations to explore the creative process, discover what happens beyond the public view, and foster connections across St. Louis's vibrant arts community. Our quarterly gatherings often include artist talks, studio visits, demonstrations, tours, and conversations that offer participants a deeper understanding of the people, ideas, and places that shape the region's cultural landscape.
