ST. LOUIS ART MUSEUM
CURRENTS 100:
ANGELINA GUALDONI
THROUGH JUNE 17
The art of St. Louis native Angelina Gualdoni explores the conflicts and synchronicities between architecture and landscape. Buildings are demolished, churches peek through sooty skylines and strip malls decay, all becoming art. Structures and symbols mingle with stains on the canvas to become something that is purely Gualdoni. Admission to the museum and the show are free.

PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART
JAPANESE LITERATI CULTURE IN THE EDO PERIOD

THROUGH AUGUST
In the 17th century, Japan’s culture encouraged individuality in artists. The free atmosphere set the stage for highly creative experimentation, which resulted in a rush of innovative art. It was during this wonderful time that the Japanese created their own version of the Chinese literati culture. This show explores works created during that time. Admission: $12 adults; $9 seniors 62 and older; $8 students with valid ID; $8 children 13–18; free for children 12 and younger.
