Punch out, log off and join Bread and Roses Missouri for Off the Clock: Arts and Activism After Hours!

The fun takes place at Work & Leisure in Midtown on Thursday, June 20 from 5:30-8:30 pm. Located just a few blocks east of Saint Louis University and the Fox Theatre, Work & Leisure is a fun and non-traditional event venue offering full bar service, plenty of space and seating for raucous celebration or casual conversation, games, and a cool bocce ball stage!

Join our Honorary Co-Chairs, José Gomez, Labor leader, and Adelia Parker-Castro, artist, activist and humanitarian!

We're excited that two of our favorite musicians will be joining us at Off the Clock with songs both new and old that will inspire you--you might even start singing along! We're please to welcome Colin McLaughlin and Celia!

Tickets are now available! Click on the red button above.

An Off the Clock Sponsorship for your union, organization, business or as an individual shows that you support access to the arts for working families and share the conviction that the arts have the power to effect deep and lasting social change. As a bonus for Off the Clock sponsors this year, our packages will extend through the year, to include bonus sponsorship of our upcoming Caregiving Project and public performances of The Workers' Opera 2024.

FIND THE RIGHT SPONSORSHIP OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUR ORGANIZATION.

Founded in 2015 by labor organizer Joan Suarez, Bread and Roses Missouri celebrates the lives of workers and their families through arts and humanities events. Funds raised at Off the Clock will support our Workers' Theatre Project, producing exciting work that elevates the voices and concerns of working class people, and our Youth Initiative, providing quality arts instruction that also helps youth learn to be changemakers in their community.
