Merill Strauss greeted us and told us about the pieces, the history, and helped us understand a bit more about the artwork and how it's assembled. Look for incredible colored glass exhibits from famous artists. You can see many of these pieces in Museums, businesses and mansions. Some pieces are far larger than chandeliers and have delicate "petals" coming out like flowers. I can't wait to go back and see what they have in store for us.

Upon arriving my friend and I walked in and noticed that all the people from gallery night were obviously here as well. There must have been 50 people in the front room alone! As I began browsing I saw such unique pieces of artwork and caught myself staring at some for what felt like hours. I was honestly lost in his artwork! We made our way through the gallery discovering pieces of art on every wall. The vibe was so casual and the crowd was just great. I really enjoyed the artwork I saw as well as the interactions I had with some of the crowd. I know I want to go back another day when it isn't so crowded so that I can explore the gallery again.

(I enjoy hunting for special pieces made by local artists, especially handcrafted sterling jewelry.) Thanks to Yelp, that's how I found Artisans in the Loop. The store is located in a charming part of University City, MO, and the staff was very welcoming and helpful. I was in awe from the moment I walked through the door. Artisans in the Loop features gorgeous and unique paintings, pottery, sculptures, stunning handcrafted jewelry, and so much more. If money were no object, I would have purchased half the store. Instead, for the moment,, I left with a beautiful pair of sterling threader earrings. I hope I have an opportunity to return but in the meantime, you can bet that I will be making future purchases from their web site. If you're in town and looking for a special gift, or something unique to brighten your day, I highly recommend that you stop in. The staff is eager to welcome and assist you.
