"Making Their Mark" brings together over eighty works by an intergenerational and international group of women artists represented in the San Francisco Bay Area–based Shah Garg Collection. Featuring a wide spectrum of artworks—including painting, sculpture, installation, textile, beadwork, and ceramics from the past eight decades—the exhibition emphasizes dialogues between artists who circumvent and break through conventions in art-making, embracing craft techniques, new technologies, conceptual inquiries, inventive methods, and uncommon materials. Artists in the exhibition include Andrea Bowers, Suzanne Jackson, Julie Mehretu, Howardina Pindell, Joan Mitchell, Lorna Simpson, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Sarah Sze, Kay WalkingStick, and Mary Weatherford, among many others.

Bruno David presents Art History Revisited, by Stan Strembicki, an exhibition of photographs revisiting art history, merging portraits of living St. Louisans with various historical artworks.

Bruno David presents in the Project Room, Broken, But Beautiful, by Jean Mason, an exhibition of photographs revealing the earth’s power over our lives, as demonstrated by the June 2025 St. Louis tornadoes.

Bruno David presents in the New Media Room, Red Sky in Morning, a film by San Francisco-based photographer Lisa K. Blatt. In rare and expected circumstances, such as an eclipse, a day momentarily changes to night. However, on this apocalyptic “orange day” in San Francisco, CA, the birds did not sing, the streetlamps never turned off and the sun was never visible. Rather, there was only a dark burnt orange hue as smoke and ash from raging distant fires blocked the sun.

Bruno David presents Recent Works, by Joe Chesla, an exhibition of several sculptures incorporating floating glass vessels that challenge our views of what is up and what is down.

Union Avenue Opera extends its offerings into the fall with the debut of its One-Act Festival, running October 10 and 11 at 7:30 PM and October 12 at 3:00 PM. This exciting new venture features bold contemporary works in an intimate setting, offering audiences a unique opportunity to experience compact, powerful storytelling from emerging and established composers.

The evening features two powerful chamber operas based on this year’s them of Exploring Identity and Injustice through Opera:

dwb (driving while black) – A gripping one-woman opera exploring the emotional tension, fear, and love of a Black mother raising a son in America. Through music and monologue, it paints a portrait of parenting under the constant threat of racial injustice. Music by Susan Kander with a libretto by Roberta Gumbel.

As One – A groundbreaking chamber opera for two voices and string quartet that follows the journey of a transgender protagonist from youth to adulthood in a deeply personal and moving coming-of-age story. Music and concept by Laura Kaminsky with libretto by Kimberly Reed.

These works offer a bold and intimate evening of opera that speaks urgently to our time. With themes of identity, vulnerability, and the search for understanding, this festival invites audiences into a space of empathy, reflection, and transformation. The 2025 One-Act Festival is made possible by a grant from the Employees Community Fund of Boeing St. Louis and the Whitaker Foundation.
