Ferguson and Beyond Examines a Decade of Social Upheaval Through Art

2 years 3 months ago
Last Friday evening, scores of artists, academics and community members filed inside the intimate, narrow halls of Webster University’s Hunt Gallery for the unveiling of an art show centered on St. Louis’ tumultuous racial history. Ferguson and Beyond: Artistic Responses to a Decade of Social Upheaval, open now through April 26, is at once a glimpse back in time and a mirror of the present moment. As we approach the 10th anniversary of the Ferguson Uprising, the exhibition urges viewers to contemplate the fatal shooting of Michael Brown Jr. by police officer Darren Wilson and the outpouring of protests and social activism that ensued as a result, both locally and around the world.

Union Loafers Team to Open a Bagel and Provisions Market in Shaw

2 years 3 months ago
The team behind Union Loafers Cafe and Bread Bakery and Bagel Union will open a “little provisions store” selling bagels, cream cheese, a variety of salads and other products at 2232 Thurman Avenue in Shaw in early April. The as-yet-unnamed market will initially open on Saturdays and Sundays, with the weekend of April 6 set as the tentative launch date. The roughly 1,500-square-foot former gas station at the intersection of Thurman and Cleveland avenues has served as Loafers’ commissary kitchen for the past three years, and the majority of the space will still be kitchen space.
