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 Linkany 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!
Open April 24th – June 28, 2026 Public Reception – April 24th, 5-9 PM Closing Reception– June 28, 2026, 5-8 PM Gallery Hours: Every Friday and Saturday 12-5 PM
Paintings, Prints, Photographs and Objects from the studios of:

The Curious Nature show brings together paintings, photographs, prints, and objects of nine St. Louis artists that offer intimate observations on nature, design, science, and the spiritual self. The exhibition honors the vision and curiosity of the women who commissioned the building in 1908, creating a place dedicated to knowledge, exchange, and community. These values continue to resonate within the space today. Thirty percent of all proceeds will contribute to the restoration of The Link Auditorium and support future cultural programming.

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!

Julie Malone: Outside Within: December 16, 2023- January 30, 2024
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.

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.
Finally, if the video left you wondering what would be a less awkward gift, then why not check out EQ’s Holiday Gift Guide from St. Louis based startups? There’s still time to be an angel and buy local!
We’re really pleased to announce that The Link Auditorium now has high speed wifi running throughout the building. Following the install of a full heating and cooling air conditioning system earlier this year, this is another “little victory” made possible by our volunteer board members.
The Link Auditorium is getting better every day! This sets us up nicely for some further improvements, such as adding Gigabit Internet in future.
