| El Ten Eleven Off Broadway | Wed., December 3, 9:00pm | St. Louis - Soulard/Benton Park | |
 Too often, the loop pedal is a gimmick that compensates for shortchanging songwriting — not so with El Ten Eleven. The Los Angeles duo of bass player Kristian Dunn and drummer Tim Fogarty uses loop pedals in a mellifluous way that recalls Andrew Bird's sample-based, one-man orchestra. The... More >> |

Tue., November 25 more dates/times |
St. Louis - Grand Center | |
 Artist Ian Burns creates Rube Goldberg-style machines that simultaneously make and unmake an image.

| Persuasive Politics: Presidential Campaign Memorabilia Saint Louis University-Museum of Art | Every week Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Fri., September 5 until Sun., December 21 | St. Louis - Midtown | |
 In retrospect, why was Richard Milhouse Nixon electable? Kennedy drank his milkshake in the 1960 election, and his hangdog expression and dour nastiness didn't improve with time. The answer is obvious: Nixon looked fantastic as a cartoon character. His campaign team capitalized on this with a... More >> |

| Slinger 2 Boots Contemporary Art Space |
Fri., November 14 more dates/times |
St. Louis - South City | |

 Adult dance classes are filled with a host of characters.

Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Wed., November 26 until Wed., December 24 more dates/times |
Webster Groves | |
 He's been framed for bank fraud. Fleeing in a drunken panic, he crashes his car and then stumbles to a bridge to throw himself into the icy waters below.

 After World War II, American artists emerged as leaders of a new direction in art, not followers of the old ways.

| Battle of the Champions Subterranean Books | Daily from Fri., November 14 until Sun., January 11 | Delmar/The Loop | |
 Pat Benatar once taught us that love is a battlefield, and while she was so, so right, it appears that in the world of competitive poster-making, love is a boxing ring. At least that's the setting selected at Subterranean Books (6275 Delmar Boulevard, University City), as Subby hosts a dual art... More >> |

 From the 1950s to the mid-1960s, it seemed like everything and everyone in California was cool: Pierre Koenig and others were designing airy case-study homes, and Charles and Ray Eames' sleek furniture looked gorgeous in those types of spaces; painters including Karl Benjamin were creating...

| Sharks Saint Louis Science Center-OMNIMAX | Daily from Mon., November 3 until Thu., March 5 | St. Louis - Forest Park | |
 Shark fans have very few requirements for a good movie. One, make sure the title of the film gives some sense of the shark's role in the proceedings. Two, give us lots of sharks.

 When most people think of the Sheldon, they probably reflect on the building's "perfect acoustics."
