Powell Hall, formerly known as the St. Louis Theater, and Powell Symphony Hall, is the home of the St. Louis Symphony. It was named after Walter S. Powell, a local St. Louis businessman, whose widow donated $1 million towards the purchase and use of this hall by the symphony. The hall seats 2,683.The building is a contributing property of the Midtown Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places.HistoryThe building was originally called The St. Louis Theater. It was built in 1925 with 4,100 seats, designed by the Chicago architectural firm of Rapp & Rapp. The theater spent the first 40 years of its existence as a stage for live vaudeville performances as well as motion pictures. The last movie shown in the old theater was The Sound of Music in 1966. At that time, the building was acquired by the Symphony Society for $500,000, through a gift from Oscar Johnson, Jr.. After spending an additional $2 million to update and renovate the theater, the hall re-opened in January 1968 as the new home of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra.The building is said to be haunted by the ghost of a man named George. He is supposedly seen in a white suit and white hat and is thought to be that of a former vaudevillian. He is said to play with the lights and the elevators.
The MOOD Of Every Atmosphere Should Be Right. MOOD , appeals to the more intimate. The fabulous décor may steal your eyes at the get-go but just wait until you experience the dessert infused cocktails, the reminiscing sounds of the DJ, paired with the beautiful people will keep your eyes occupied for the rest of the evening. Although bottle service is the more expensive way to go when you go out, it’s worth it here. You can take a seat, rest your tired feet and still see and be a part of the fun.
NEO on Locust provides a hip and urban setting for any special event with spectacular views of the downtown and Midtown skyline.

The Big Muddy Dance Company, under the Direction of former Houston Ballet and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago dancer Brian Enos, derives its name from the Missouri river, referred to as "The Big Muddy". This river feeds the nation's waterways while having its roots here in St Louis. The dance company is rooted in the great city of St Louis and feeds not only this city but the nation with high quality dance performances. Choreographers such as Lou Conte (founder of Hubbard Street Dance Chicago), Antonio Douthit & Kirven Boyd (Dancers with Alvin Ailey American Dance Theatre), Harrison McEldowney, Lauri Stallings (Artistic Director of GloATL), Michael Uthoff (Executive Director of Dance St Louis), Sam Watson, Kameron N. Saunders, Thom Dancy, Brian Enos, and Brandon DiCriscio (former dancer with River North Dance Company) have all contributed work to the troupe's growing list of repertoire. The company not only offers great dance to audiences in theaters and public venues, but also has developed a senior outreach program to bring quality dance to seniors that may not be able to go to the theatre. "Senior Embrace" produces performances at retirement homes and assisted living facilities around St Louis, as well as workshops with early stage dementia patients. Following their season, the company offers a summer intensive program at their studio, the Downtown Dance Center, located in the heart of the city. The studio also offers beginning through professional level ballet, jazz, and core-barre fitness classes year-round. Classes are taught by company members as well as renowned guest faculty.
The Des Lee Gallery is pleased to announce the exhibition Two Sides of a 45: Lisha Bai, J. Michael Deane, and Jane Fox Hipple. The works of these featured artists are tethered to each other loosely through geometry and a straightforward manipulation of materials and images. All three artists are alumni of Washington University in St. Louis, and are currently based across the country. Two Sides of a 45 is a purposefully misleading title, as there are not just two different perspectives represented. An interesting dialogue is created when the work of one artist is placed within proximity of another artist’s work, especially when the artists are not expressively explicit in their content. For instance, when Deane’s work is juxtaposed against Bai’s, it can prompt a different “read” than when it is viewed next to Hipple’s work. The title poetically references a 45 rpm vinyl record, a 45° degree angle, and a .45 caliber pistol. Gallery hours for this exhibition will be Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday from 1-6pm and by appointment. Lisha Bai Bai earned her BFA from Washington University in St. Louis in 2001 and her MFA from Yale University in 2004. She was awarded a Terra Foundation for American Art Fellowship in Giverny, France, in 2004 and received the S.J. Wallace Truman Fund Award from the National Academy in New York in 2008. She has exhibited work in a variety of venues, including the National Academy, Smith-Stewart at Krut Projects, Regina Rex, and fordPROJECT (all New York); Jolie Laide (Philadelphia); and Franklin Art Works (Minneapolis). Bai lives and works in Brooklyn, N.Y. J. Michael Deane Deane earned his BFA from Columbus College of Art & Design in 1999 and his MFA from Washington University in St. Louis in 2002. He has exhibited at Mount St. Mary’s College (Los Angeles); Krowswork and Hatch Gallery (both in Oakland, Calif.); the San Francisco Arts Commission Gallery; and White Flag Projects and PSTL Gallery (both in St. Louis). Deane lives and works in Berkeley, Calif. Jane Fox Hipple Hipple earned her BFA from Washington University in St. Louis in 2004 and her MFA from Tulane University in 2008. She also attended the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture in 2009. Her most recent exhibitions were at DODGEgallery (New York), Rebekah Templeton Contemporary Art (Philadelphia), and the Boston Center for the Arts.

Beginning 22 years ago. the St. Louis Black Pages began out of dire need for the African American community to stop punishing Black owned businesses for being Black and enbrace and support them. For over two decades we have committed ourselves to developing and executing effective advertising campaigns for Black owned businesses in the St. Louis Metro area. As we move forward, we are re-branding and re-positioning the publication to not only be a strong vehicle for businesses in the community but to also be a catalyst for CHANGE. We must step up to the plate and accept our responsibility to be the change we wish to see in our community. In order to transform the African American community, vastly more jobs and business opportunities must be nurtured; accordingly we are revitalizing The St. Louis Black Pages. Throughout all of 2013, force the Digital Marketing and Social Media will be fully utilized to communicate the 2012 cover theme; Love Black. African Americans will thrive when a conscious decision to Love Black results in the transofrmation of the community.
