SLUMA Presents “Urban Wanderers: The Tail End” on Sunday, August 29

The Saint Louis University Museum of Art will host “Urban Wanderers: The Tail End” on Sunday, August 29, beginning at 1 p.m. Barret Jackman, defenseman for the St. Louis Blues, will be at the museum to mark the final day of the exhibition, featuring artwork inspired by abandoned animals rescued by Stray Rescue of St. Louis.

Urban Wanderers: The Tail End will offer a final opportunity to personally view the art that inspired over 40 area artists, including actress Loretta Swit, to paint, sculpt, and photograph an abandoned stray. All artwork is available for auction at blacktie-stlouis.com/auctions. Proceeds support Stray Rescue of St. Louis.

The dog days of summer are nearly at an end, however, the Stray Rescue mission continues. Over 90 dogs formerly housed at the city pound are in the process of being relocated and provided with clean, new homes at the new Stray Rescue shelter located at 2320 Pine. Although the Stray Rescue shelter is ready for occupancy, more than $600,000 is needed to complete construction. Stray Rescue of St. Louis requires $1.7 million annually for operational costs.

Light refreshments Pappy’s Smokehouse, and Anheuser-Busch products will be served.

Must be 21-years-of-age to consume alcohol.
