Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis’s courtyard turns into an exhibition space for Nomad Studio: Green Air in the worlds of food, art, music and adventure. Missouri – or “Mo,” as we refer to her – has no shortage of places to explore, so whatever you’re after, there’s a Mo for every M-O.
When the sun sets, CAM St. Louis comes to life as the exterior is transformed from a museum wall into a piece of art itself. “The entirety of the upper level of our facade, which is more than 60 feet long and 20 feet high, becomes a projection,” explains Melandri. “And as soon as the sun goes down, you see moving images that quite literally kind of turn the building inside out, but also really activates the neighborhood.
“You may see what you might think of as traditional painting,” says Melandri. “But you might also see conceptual work, time-based work, moving-image work, sculpture, installation, immersive projects – you name it.” The CAM has around 12 to 13 exhibitions a year, fully changing the art within its walls three times a year or so. And the art really changes across medium, perspective and geography, all part of the curators’ vision of what contemporary art is and can be.

Every two years, three artists in the Greater St. Louis area are selected by a distinguished jury to receive $20,000 grants.
