EXCLUSIVE ART SALES

At the Art of Travel Pop-Up Shop, guests browsed and purchased exclusive designs on a number of fashion and travel accessories along with hand-crafted jewelry and more, all created by local artists Alicia LaChance (design above), Kelly Draper, Jenny Walker, STL Style, and Work/Play.
Silent Auction
The Art of Travel silent auction was back on the table once again and featured great collections of sports memorabilia, travel packages, local excursions, gifts, art, and more.
GOURMET DINING
Culinary arts took center stage at Art of Travel! Expertly crafted dishes were prepared near your tables by our team at HMSHost. This year, attendees dined on delicacies where the Northern Lights shine: Norway, Sweden, Alaska, Finland- even Scotland.
Live Music- Starwolf
The Art of Travel was delighted to welcome St. Louis' Starwolf to this year's stage. Alive Magazine's Kevin Korinek profiled the trio recently saying the band "takes its cues from the nostalgia-laden synth soundtracks of the 1980s. But theirs is a new evolution of space-dance, brought to life through vintage analogue keyboards and groove-inspired bass lines, chill wave beats...." Starwolf is preparing to release its debut EP this fall after landing a high-profile spot in the lineup at LouFest 2017.
Billy and Julie in the morning, KLOU 103.3 FM, werehonored to be the MC’s of the Art of Travel Gala in 2018.
