38th ANNUAL ART FAIR / May 9-11, 2025

The Laumeier Annual Art Fair is a three-day, outdoor event held over Mother’s Day weekend.

• Shop one-of-a-kind, handmade artwork from 150+ artists gathered from St. Louis and across the country

• Discover tasty food and beverage options from favorite local vendors

• Get creative with hands-on activities for the whole family

• Enjoy live music and entertainment, all weekend long

The Annual Art Fair provides crucial support for Laumeier’s mission and work in our community! Laumeier Sculpture Park is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates in partnership with St. Louis County Parks, and we must raise over $2 million annually to support our mission of engaging our community through art and nature. Event proceeds make it possible for us to continue serving our 360,000 annual patrons with an outstanding sculpture collection, new artwork commissions, temporary exhibitions, education programs, public events, and more.
