If you happen to visit the St. Louis County Library’s Clark Family Branch, be sure to stop by the KAF Gallery on the main floor to view works by Kranzberg Artists in Residence. The exhibition presents recent work by past and present Kranzberg Arts Foundation Visual Artists in Residence including: Felia Davenport, José Garza, Mee Jey, David Kirkman, Moraa Nyaribo, B.J. Parker, Sarah Paulsen, Norman Spencer, Vincent Stemmler and Kenneth Randle, as well as renowned St. Louis artist and Brock Seals.
The selection highlights each artist’s conceptual range, material exploration, and ongoing creative evolution—reflecting the diversity and excellence of artists living and working in our region. Together, they embody the spirit and cultural impact of the Residency’s mission in St. Louis.
Launched in 2021, the Kranzberg Arts Residencies for Individual Artists program supports participants in defining and achieving their artistic goals. Each residency provides dedicated space, resources, and proximity to the Foundation’s network of venues and creative infrastructure—enabling artists to expand their work, build connections, and engage meaningfully within St. Louis’s evolving arts landscape.
“The library is the perfect venue for taking in thought-provoking artwork. This exhibition brings the important work that the KAF Residencies provide to our local artists, to share with our community at large,” says collections consultant Dana Turkovic. “The galleries are accessible to all and encourage curiosity in everyone, celebrating the power of the imagination in all artforms whether it be the written word or a canvas saturated with vibrant imagery.”
