Show Ending, New Year Beginning!
For those of you in St. Louis still looking for something exciting to do to bring in 2010, start with Grand Center’s First Night on New Year’s Eve. First Night is always full of exciting entertainment and activities and is an incredibly unique experience. The buttons you receive during First Night can be recycled for discounts at different Grand Center locations. Bring it in to the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis and you’ll receive free admission OR $5.00 off of a Contemporary membership.
The rest of the first weekend in 2010 can be spent at the Contemporary since it will be the last couple of days of the current exhibition. For the blind man in the dark room looking for the black cat that isn’t there will close on Sunday, January 3. On Saturday, January 2, visitors can go on the Last Chance Tour in order to check out the show and the twenty artists one more time. Then on closing day, the 3rd, the Contemporary is hosting a Piñata Closing Party. Since the beginning of the show Mariana Castillo Deball’s Klein bottle-shaped piñata has hung above the Performance Space. On this day, guests will get to take turns swinging at the piñata. Yes, there are assorted objects and candies inside, and yes, guests will get to swarm to these prized possessions as they fall to the ground. There will also be festive music and free margaritas and the artist will be present! Learn more about Mariana Castillo Deball by reading the Artist Blog Series post on 2buildings1blog.org.
