The Hunt Gallery is an integral part of the educational mission of the Department of Art, Design, and Art History, as well as an important and highly visible aspect of its community outreach. The Hunt Gallery is a non-commercial, alternative venue for providing professionally curated exhibitions of contemporary art for the academic community and broader St. Louis area public. As a significant factor in St. Louis region's cultural environment, Hunt Gallery presents exhibitions of individual artists and/or groups of artists of regional, national and international renown whose works demonstrate significant aesthetic achievement and art historical importance.
The MidWest Theatre Auditions, hosted on the campus of Webster University, take place annually on the third weekend of February. Each year, over 500 acting auditionees and 100 design, technical, and stage management interviewees from collegiate institutions across the Midwest arrive at the Loretto-Hilton Center in St. Louis, Missouri to participate in a weekend of auditions. Over 25 professional summer theatres, graduate schools, and internship programs attend annually. MWTA is organized, staffed, and executed by the Stage Management program of the Conservatory of Theatre Arts at Webster University. Under the mentor-ship and guidance of Peter E. Sargent, Dean of the Leigh Gerdine School of Fine Arts, the Stage Management students begin their work in August of each year, processing all of the incoming applications and organizing this large event. The Stage Management students are divided up to organize the various details of the actual weekend, from the four inch binders that contain the 500 acting applications, to the private callback rooms for each individual theatre, to the signs that lead visitors around Webster’s frozen February campus. As freshmen stage management students arrive and outgoing seniors depart Webster for the real world, the face of MWTA seems to constantly change and improve. In the coming years, we hope to increase the number of theatres that attend and establish ourselves as a premier audition festival in the Midwest.
