Artist Talk with Jenna Elizabeth

Saturday, August 22, 2026

11am-12pm

Join Jenna Elizabeth, a St. Louis-based artist, photographer, and activist, as she shares the Tree Scan Project, an initiative that uses art to document the destruction following the tornado on May 16, 2025.

Her work consists of large-scale print transfers of felled tree and fosters community engagement and awareness by inviting people to help as they pass by. In this talk, she will discuss her work with The People’s Response and ongoing tornado recovery efforts across the area.

This event is free, but preregistration is required.

Conversations on Creativity

This event will be held on the 2nd Saturday of each month, from 10am-12pm.

Through receiving input of fellow artists you can gain new insight into understanding your work.

In this informal monthly series, artists will present their artwork to a small group for discussion. Bring 2-5 small art pieces you wish to receive constructive feedback on to participate.

The small group will engage in a thoughtful exchange of ideas, comments, and interpretations. The small group aims to inspire growth, creativity and foster community.
