The Art of Giving
The Will Flores Fund presents its 10th Annual
Art Show and Sale
Sunday, September 17, 2016
2 p.m. to 5 p.m.
21 O’Fallon Street~~The Wm. A. Kerr Foundation
St. Louis, Missouri 63102
August, 2017
A Diamond in a Rubble Heap
The Wm. A. Kerr Foundation Building At 21 O’Fallon Street
We dedicate this space to the Art of Finding Us
because construction projects and street closings make it confusing.
(You can no longer simply go to the riverfront and travel north on Leonor
K Sullivan Boulevard.)
The best way to go is to take Cole Street east or 4th street north to
merge into Broadway Northbound and turn right onto O’Fallon Street.
If you end up in the Lumiere complex, go east on Biddle or Carr and go
north on 1st Street.
LOOK FOR THE RED SKY DANCER!
The Will Flores Fund is pleased that the number of our
artist supporters has grown each year. We sell real art at
prices real people can afford to help real people in need.
This year, at least 35 artists are donating several pieces
of their work and our guests, while enjoying the gallery of
art for sale, will be treated to superb food contributed by
Jason Bishop, cookies by Kim Sindel, wine
by Jason and Carly Main, and music by
classical guitarist Carol Eder and violinist
Za Goodbrake.
Proceeds from the Mala Project are dedicated to the food pantries we support every year.
The Mission Statement of

This year’s Mala Project features 108 origami cranes.
The origami crane has become the symbol of hope and healing during challenging times.
The Will Flores Fund is pleased to introduce its supporters to
The Wilson Scholarship for Ceramics Art Students
In honor of the late Donald S. Wilson, a gifted ceramic artist
and respected teacher, who was a faithful supporter of the
goals and mission of the Will Flores Fund, and who gifted the
Fund through the years with his own art, as well as pieces
from his collection, the Will Flores Fund has established a
scholarship fund for deserving ceramics students in the
St. Louis area.
Our May newsletter announced the Wilson Scholarship
recipients for the 2017 Spring semester, Molly Svoboda of
Forest Park CC and Marica Sanchez of Meramec CC.
The first Wilson Scholarship recipient to be recognized
for the 2017 Fall semester is Ashley Lantz of Meramec
Community College. Other applications are pending.
