Please join us Saturday, April 25, for One Hundred², a celebration of independent art in St. Louis and a collective act of support for artist-run spaces.

At a moment when arts institutions across the country are facing increasing censorship, political pressure, and the withdrawal of public funding, spaces like The Luminary rely more than ever on the people who believe in the importance of artistic freedom. This year, participating artists are responding to that moment with an extraordinary gesture of solidarity.

The event features 100 artists, each presenting a small original artwork priced at $100. In a departure from past fundraisers, participating artists are donating 100% of the proceeds from their work to support The Luminary’s year-round programs.

For nearly two decades, The Luminary has operated as an independent platform for artists—presenting exhibitions, residencies, publications, and public programs that engage the urgent questions of our time. The generosity of these artists helps ensure that this work can continue.

Your $10 ticket includes an open bar, DJ sets, and a community raffle, creating a lively evening with artists, neighbors, and supporters.

Come discover new work, take something home, and join a growing circle of people committed to sustaining artist-driven spaces in St. Louis.

In addition to free entry, members of The Luminary receive exclusive access to a 30-minute preview before the event begins. Become a member to get first access to the artwork.
