The word for this weekend is ART. St. Louis is showcasing its visual artistic side with slate of events. I thought this weekend’s social calendar was full - what with the affordable activities listed for this week (November 17-21) and the Parties for a Purpose. Still, I offer you more. Yes, more St. Louis events for you to enjoy. Has that order for a clone come in yet? We will all need one to get through this great weekend.
