Coming Up: St. Louis Design Week...also, FREE fun.

Living just outside of St. Louis, I get to experience many things for FREE that people in other cities have to dole out the dough for. Free Zoo? Free Beer? Free Musicals?  Yes, please and thank you.

Another opportunity for free fun is coming up soon.  On September 23rd, St. Louis Design Week kicks off with seven days of all different types of events (Art! And Speakers! And Happy Hours! Oh my!) for the design inclined:

  

Monday: OPEN: Architecture for Art, Contemporary Art Museum
Tuesday: DART St. Louis, PK Photo Studio
Wednesday: Creative Happy Hour, Urban Chestnut Brewing Company
Thursday: PechaKucha Night STL #12, Contemporary Art Museum
Friday: Discovered Art Exhibit and Auction – Central Library
Saturday: Eames Presentation – Webster University
Saturday: FUSION Gallery Exhibit and Student Competition – Webster University
Sunday: SPOKE Bike Tour – Beginning and ending in Forest Park
Sunday: Sloup #39 – Atomicdust

I have no background in design, but I'm really excited about SPOKE, a FREE "family-friendly, docent-led bike tour to showcase St. Louis’ architectural landmarks" starting in Forest Park.  If I can rustle up a child bike seat and helmet (Do they make baby helmets?  I'll have to Google that.) in the next week, we might just take the entire family.
