On December 16-17, 2023, the Link Art Gallery hosted the opening of resident artist Julie Malone’s exhibition “Outside Within,” a celebration of Malone’s atmospheric landscape oil paintings. Viewers had the opportunity to witness Malone make her signature works of art using a rich color palette in the adjacent Garden Room. The 2023 Julie Malone exhibition, open from December 9 to January 30 was the first artist exhibit at the newly renovated Link Art Gallery, a groundbreaking moment for the Link organization.
Visitors enjoy a symphony of color at opening night!

If you can make it, not only will you be helping to restore a piece of St. Louis history, but you’ll also be supporting local homegrown comedy talent. For this holiday themed show, I’m told the comedians are going after Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and even Festivus.
Built in 1908 for The Wednesday Club (a women’s education and social club that fought for fought for smoke abatement, better schools, sanitation laws, and a cleaner city in the 1890s), The Link Auditorium was designed by the famous St. Louis architect, Theodore Link, who was also the original architect of Union Station.
Along with other volunteers, we’ve been working tirelessly to get it ship shape since COVID forced the long-standing board members to put the building into hibernation mode. This comedy event represents a huge milestone for members of the board, as it’s the first comedy show to be hosted in nearly five years.
Since then, and especially over the past two years, the board has successfully executed three major renovation projects. From installing full heating/cooling air conditioning, to creating an exhibition space with full art gallery lighting and delivering high speed wifi throughout the venue, the building has never been so close to realizing its potential as it does now.
Boasting the second best acoustics in the city after the Fox Theatre, this year The Link Auditorium hosted ten Candlelight concerts and three concerts for the Gateway Mens Chorus. These projects brought in significant revenue for the restoration project, whilst also demonstrating it’s role as a community center for innovation in the arts.
If you’re an artist, poet, comedian, event host or performer of any kind —or an entrepreneur who can imagine ways that you could make use of a 500 seat auditorium in 2025— then please consider this an invite for you to come to the Holly Jolly on Saturday and check out the building. I’ll be there, and it’d be my pleasure to connect you with the people who can help you get involved and contribute to this wonderful restoration project.
