"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.

Saint Louis Ballet’s The Nutcracker has become a cherished holiday tradition for thousands of families across the region. Each December, audiences are swept away by this magical production—filled with glorious dancing, dazzling costumes, and Tchaikovsky’s beloved score.

This year, the enchantment grows even bigger—literally—with the unveiling of a brand-new Nutcracker tree in Act I, designed by renowned theatrical designer James Wolk. Making its debut this November, the stunning tree will transform before the audience’s eyes, growing from 11 feet 6 inches in the party scene to an awe-inspiring 23 feet during the dramatic battle scene—adding a breathtaking new dimension to this beloved holiday classic.

Under the direction and choreography of Gen Horiuchi, The Nutcracker comes to life with elegance, energy, and wonder—from the festive holiday party and the fierce battle with the Mouse King to the glittering Land of Snow and the sweet delights of the Kingdom of Sweets. Featuring a full cast of professional dancers and talented students from the Saint Louis Ballet School, The Nutcracker is a heartwarming celebration of the season that continues to inspire awe and joy for all ages.
