A gouache painting titled “Glenview Church of the Nazarene, Glen Carbon, IL and watercolor and ink work titled St. John’s Lutheran Church, Granite City, IL” were recently show in Madison County Historical Society’s ART FROM THE VAULT exhibit.

This digital painting titled, “Accepting My Glass Cage” is currently being shown at the St. Louis Artists Guild’s exhibition “Reflections Unveiled: Contemporary Portraiture in the Digital Age”

Two paintings by Michael Anderson, including the image shown Altadena Swap Meet, have been selected for exhibition in Art Saint Louis 40, the gallery’s 40th annual all media, all subjects/themes, all styles, all techniques exhibition highlighting the work of the region’s visual artists. For this year’s show, 700 artworks in all media were submitted by 192 St. Louis regional artists for consideration by Juror Sherry Leedy, a Kansas City gallery owner, from which she selected artworks by 69 artists for the exhibition. Altadena Swap Meet began its life as live demonstration painting at a GEAG membership meeting. “Although the Altadena Swap Meet is an actual literary event, the title suggests an image of poets and writers browsing through white tented booths looking for second-hand verse and used prose under the bright California sun.” -Michael Anderson
Art Saint Louis 40, The Exhibition opens with a free public reception Nov 2, 5-7pm at the gallery’s new location at 2801 Locust, and runs through Dec 19, 2024. For more information visit Art Saint Louis online.
