Renowned artist Bryan Haynes will present the program "Art and the Environment." Haynes, a native Missourian, has murals displayed public places like the Missouri Botanical Garden and the Westward Expansion Memorial Museum at the Arch. His smaller-scale paintings can be viewed online and in galleries in Washington and Ste. Genevieve, Missouri. Mr. Haynes will discuss his "New Regionalism" artwork, inspired by the beauty of Missouri's landscape and its people.

This year's Living in Ste. Genevieve House Tour is focused on transformation and adaptation. Homeowners will discuss recent renovations to the homes you are touring. Some have been major renovation projects, completely transforming the homes for their next chapters. Others have consisted of modernization and a focus on design. Five of the six homes are completely new to our spring tour, and the sixth home (on the tour in 2023) is definitely worth a second look!

Tour the privately owned homes at your own pace from 11 am to 2 pm and then have plenty of time to stroll downtown and enjoy shopping, restaurants, museums and historic sites. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for Foundation Members. Limited tickets available the day of event. This event is not recommended for small children.

Tour check in is 11 am to Noon at Two Rivers Gallery, 73 N. Main St. Not all homes are accessible. Please contact the Foundation at 573-883-9622 with any questions.
