Winter Celebrations 2023

Enjoy dynamic performances throughout the weekend highlighting the cultural richness of the Saint Louis Community, including a winter-themed hip hop performance in The Garage Lab by Saint Louis Story Stitchers Artists Collective. Then, explore the Museum collection using our winter-themed scavenger hunt. Which artworks will keep you the coziest in the cold winter months?

Pick up your scavenger hunt guide at the Sculpture Hall welcome desk from 10 am to 4 pm on both days of the festival. Learn winter tales from around the world with award-winning storytellers including Bobby Norfolk, an internationally known story performer and teaching artist. Bobby Norfolk is a three-time Emmy Award winner, multiple Parents’ Choice Gold and Silver Award winner, a National Storytelling Network Oracle Award recipient, and one of the most popular and dynamic story educators in America today!

Visitors can also participate in any of the hands-on activities such as artisan snowflake design and other winter art projects. Don’t forget to commemorate your day with a special photobooth opportunity brought to you by SLAM’s Teen Arts Council.

This program is supported by the Dana Brown Endowed Fund for Education and Community Programs.
