Thursdays @ The Intersection June 10, 2010

The intersection of Grand and Washington boulevards at Strauss Park is the place to be, as Thursdays @ The Intersection kicks up the pace of activity within the Grand Center arts district offering weekly entertainment beginning Thursday, June 10, from 6 to 8 p.m. and continuing each consecutive Thursday through July 15.

With creatively themed evenings of live performances and interactive activities, each centered around one of the many arts specialties found among the district's venues and organizations, Thursdays @ The Intersection is perfectly timed to capture the theater and dining crowds yet provides a full experience in itself for those who want to stop by and enjoy patio drinks or dining and some summer entertainment.

Each week, Thursdays @ The Intersection features live music and highlights a different creative theme: from dance to set design, the written word to visual arts, theater to costume design. The Grand Center events team has been developing a roster of interesting musicians, performers and artists with the help of some of the district’s partners including the folks at the Sheldon Concert Hall, Jazz St. Louis, the Black Rep and Craft Alliance.

Rounding out the fun, participating district restaurants will spotlight specialty drinks and desserts to match each week’s creative theme.
