Open Lot is a collaborative studio, venue, and exhibition space in Saint Louis' Lafayette Square neighborhood.
As an exhibition space and venue, we showcase compelling contemporary work (thus far, we have focused upon visual arts, design, and music, but we are open to wider possibilities) that is underrepresented in Saint Louis. By featuring a diverse cross-section of work, Open Lot simultaneously embraces individual specialization and encourages interdisciplinary collaboration.
Open Lot also fosters interdisciplinary collaboration as a studio. There are currently six members with backgrounds in architecture, music, photography, painting, sculpture, and printmaking. By sharing the insights, theories, and techniques of their respective disciplines, studio members gain broader understanding and amass artistic and intellectual tools.
Open Lot began in October 2007, when we moved into our current space. It is a converted yeast factory. |
