The Sheldon Art Galleries presented a special event, Pick the City UP Glo Sho, in conjunction with the exhibit, Saint Louis Story Stitchers Artists Collective: Pick the City UP.
On Tuesday, March 20th, 2018 “Pick the City UP Glo Sho!” presented Saint Louis Story Stitchers’ unique brand of urban storytelling, featuring original, family-friendly spoken word, hip hop music and B-Boy dance moves on public health issues, including gun violence prevention. St. Louis’ top young performers and their mentors encourage attendees to become a part of the movement to help make our city a healthier and happier place for all.
