We’ve been honored and amazed by the St. Louis music appreciators over the past year. Since beginning our Elevator Music Series in March, we’ve sold out numerous shows, received overwhelming press and feedback from fans, and ushered in many unheard acts to our city to great response. For those who did not know, we will be operating the series on a 9-month season from March-October. As sad as it may be for our hallowed gallery to be so quiet, it will be a necessary part of our continuing quest to bring St. Louis the best, most artful, most thoughtful, and most engaging programming in all areas of the arts. As you may know, we don’t just host concerts–we curate challenging exhibitions, resource emerging artists through our residency program, and help provide event space to other arts organizations and nonprofits. We promise that the wait will be worth it.

In the meantime, we have compiled a list of concerts at other venues in our area that we really think you should consider attending. Consider it our way of extending the curated experience you have here into the rest of the rich St. Louis music scene.
