CWE Rose Day- Curious Nature Open Day

The Link Auditorium is excited to announce that we will participate in the annual Rose Day STL! Returning for its 8th year on Saturday, May 2, Rose Day brings together hundreds of St. Louisans for an afternoon that’s equal parts wine and purpose.

Stop by the Link any time between 12 – 5 PM for a taste of wine along the historic Rose Day Central West End route, and view the stunning art of nine St. Louis-based women artists in the Link’s current exhibition, Curious Nature!

The walking wine festival — hosted in the Central West End from noon to 5 p.m. — features 10+ tasting stations, live music, and local vendors, but at its heart it’s a celebration of community. A portion of every ticket directly supports 10 local nonprofits that empower women and girls across the region. In St. Louis, only 10% of philanthropic dollars reach organizations serving women and girls. Rose Day is here to close that gap, one glass at a time, and the Link Auditorium stop is not to be missed!

“EYEZ” Animated Exhibit Opening Night

On December 12, 2025, Peat Wollaeger launched his animated EYEZ exhibit at the Link Auditorium. Wollaeger, an internationally recognized stencil and street artist, opened this exhibit as the culmination of over three years of preparation. The exhibit features a selection of stencil paintings on a variation of subjects, including a monumental portrait of Miles Davis, images of tropical animals, and imaginative visions of our planet. 

The most distinctive feature of Wollaeger’s work lies in its animation. When visitors scan each painting through Wollaeger’s EYEZ app, they enter into a synthetic, immersive experience accompanied by themed music and 3D animations so gripping that the paintings seem to come alive. Visitors experienced the intersection of traditional art with cutting-edge technology whilst uncovering themes of identity, perception, and social commentary that drive Wollaeger’s creative vision. Enjoy these photos from a beautiful night!
