Third Friday

Make glass a part of your 2026 and come hang out at the hottest party in St. Louis! Write down everything you want to give back to the universe — bad habits, bad relationships, stresses — whatever it is will burn by hot, molten glass and you'll leave feeling a little lighter, we hope.
Before then, you can shop our gallery; view the new exhibition by New Orleans artists Teri Walker and Chad Ridgeway, The Many Faces of Mardi Gras; grab a cocktail; and enjoy food from the DMD's own Bengalina restaurant group, which runs Nixta, Florentin and Esca.
