A Message from the Event Chair Welcome to the 19th year of Collectors Choice!

When this year began, no one could have imagined the hardships 2020 would bring, but through the efforts of so many accomplished artists in the St. Louis area and beyond donating their time, efforts, and resources, it made this year’s Collectors Choice possible. We are so grateful for the exceptional quality of the art pieces donated for this event. Some of the featured artists exhibiting are long-time established membersof the St. Louis Artists’ Guild, and we are honored others are beginning their artistic journey with us.

It’s rewarding to take a remarkable piece home to enhance your surroundings, and we love hearing the feedback! This, in part, occurs because of the diversity of the art pieces and the discriminating tastes of our patrons.

A special thanks to Zack Petot, our Exhibition Coordinator, for his outstanding technical and creative artistic endeavors to enhance your virtual experience. A shout-out to Karthika Krishna, who helped coordinate our now online Silent Auction. We also want to express our appreciation to the many individuals who created unique items and experiences for the Silent Auction that convey the distinctiveness of St. Louis Artists’ Guild members. In addition, we are grateful for the support of the numerous sponsors, including our long-time partner, Catering St. Louis.

Lastly, an enormous round of applause for our Executive Director: Kathryn Nahorski and her staff, the Board of Governors, Master of Ceremonies: Jeffery Berthal, and the many others who have assisted in making this year’s unique Collectors Choice such an outstanding event.
