About Visionary Dialogues
The Visionary Dialogues was created to support women artists in St. Louis by bringing them together virtually to share their challenges, strategies, and successes during this time of historical uncertainty. There will be a total of three virtual conversations over the next several months, leading up to the Saint Louis Visionary Awards event in April, 2021, which will honor six outstanding women from our arts community. Our virtual series will feature past and current Visionary honorees from all areas of the arts.
