Laumeier Sculpture Park is a living laboratory where artists and audiences explore the relationship between contemporary art and the natural environment.
Laumeier’s thematic
focus of New Territories:
BRICS, 2015–19 follows
the activities previously
launched under the
theme of Archaeology of
Place, 2010–14.
Laumeier operates in
partnership with St.
Louis County Parks
for the care and
maintenance of the
Park; however, the
nonprofit organization
must raise more than $1
million annually from
individuals, corporations
and foundations to
support temporary
exhibitions, education
programs, public
events and sculpture
conservation.

New Territories: BRICS
broadens our look at the
world’s cultural zones as
they have directly and
indirectly impacted life
in St. Louis. Projects,
programs and activities
twist the economic
acronym BRICS [Brazil,
Russia, India, China,
South Africa] beyond the
market forces currently
driving the global
economy.

NATURE TRAIL
In 2013, Laumeier’s
In-Residence:
Environmental
Historian Dr. Jenny
Price, originally from
St. Louis, developed an
“alternative” Nature Trail
at Laumeier to highlight
the infrastructure put
into place as part of our
wresting the land away
from its functional status
as a watershed for the
Meramec and Mississippi
Rivers.
Price picked out such
un-touristic sites
as a fallen tree, an
electrical box, a bench
overlooking invasive
honeysuckle and the
Museum Shop as stops
on her “nature” tour.
Visit the Adam Aronson
Fine Arts Center during
regular building hours
to pick up the Nature
Trail Scavenger Hunt.
Walk the route, learn
about the nature of
Laumeier Sculpture Park
and win a prize! 1.6-mile
loop, approximately 40
minutes, self-guided
route (trail not marked).
TOUR PROGRAMS
Interactive tours are
led by trained Laumeier
Docents and last
approximately one hour.
All tours meet in the
Public Plaza outside the
Adam Aronson Fine Arts
Center.
School + Community
Tours are available for
$60 flat for groups of
12 or fewer ($36 flat for
student groups grades
K–12) and $5 per person
for groups of 12 or
more ($3 per person
for student groups
grades K–12). Visit www.
laumeier.org/tours or

Laumeier offers FREE

Stroller Tours on the
third Thursday of each
month, May–October,
at 10:00 a.m. Please
note, strollers are not

SITE/SOUND
Site/Sound was curated
by Laumeier’s 2012 InResidence: Composer
Eric Hall, who invited
regional musicians,
bands, sound artists and
producers to contribute
to and assist him with
the collaborative art
experience.
Each artist created an
“aural portrait” of one
of Laumeier’s artworks
in the Permanent
Collection—either
as a reaction to, in
conversation with or
as an extension of the
artwork via the medium
of sound.

Site/Sound.
ART CLASSES +
WORKSHOPS
Art courses for all ages
are offered as either
multi-day classes or
one-day workshops for
youth, teens, adults and
families.
Art Classes and
Workshops are taught by
local, experienced ArtistInstructors and are
designed to encourage
artistic development
and self-expression
while building selfesteem. Small class sizes
provide participants with
individual attention;
projects are designed
to allow participants
the freedom to explore
their own potential and
creativity.

Sunday of Art Fair weekend
in May, Harvest Festival
Sunday in October and
Christmas Day.
no climbing on
sculptures
Even though Laumeier’s
artworks are outdoors and
subject to the elements,
physical contact can still
cause irreparable damage,
making it difficult to
preserve them for future
generations. Please do not
climb on any artworks,
unless otherwise noted on
the sculpture’s object label.
Artworks must sometimes
be removed from view due
to inappropriate public
interaction. Examples of
inappropriate interactions
include climbing; writing
(graffiti); carving or
scratching on sculptures;
walking off prescribed
trails, paths or lawns; and
general destructive
activities.
Please help us take care of
our Collection; if you see
anyone interacting with an
artwork inappropriately,
please contact the Park
Rangers at 314.615.4733.
County Ordinance 101.080
lists a $1,000 fine for
climbing on sculpture.
ACCESSIBILITY
Laumeier’s public
restrooms are wheelchair
accessible, as are some
pathways. Vehicles are
allowed in Laumeier’s
parking lots only; please do
not drive on walking paths.
The trails are rated for
pedestrian use only.
Parks and Recreation
programs and facilities are
available for people of all
abilities. Contact Relay
Missouri at 800.735.2966
to let us know if there is an
accommodation that
would make a program
accessible to you or your
family.
In 2009, Laumeier
partnered with Lighthouse
for the Blind-St. Louis to
develop a series of bronze
maquettes (cast scale
models) for several
artworks in the Permanent
Collection, including a
topographic orientation
map of the Park, to help
visitors with sight
impairments navigate and
enjoy the artworks in the
outdoor galleries.
PHOTOGRAPHY
Laumeier’s artworks in the
outdoor galleries make
excellent subjects and
backgrounds for personal
photographs.
No photography or
videography of any kind is
allowed inside the Adam
Aronson Fine Arts Center.
Due to copyright
restrictions, visitor safety
and access concerns,
commercial photography
and videography is allowed
only with advance
permission from Laumeier.
