| PROMENADE DES ART HISTORY The idea to bring Promenade des Art to Ste. Genevieve came to John Orem while reading an article on Janet Kraus being named Artist of the Year. He contacted the president of the Ste. Genevieve Art Guild, Anna Kirchner to set up a meeting with Janet. Plans were made and the first letter was sent to Jim Baker on April 25, 2001seeking permission to use the Felix Valle Historic Site. "Under the auspices of the Convention and Visitors Bureau of Ste. Genevieve and French Colonial Ste. Genevieve Inc., the Art Guilds of Ste. Genevieve, Jefferson County and members of the Perry County will present Promenade des Arts on September 22 & 23, 2001." The First Committee John Orem-chairman & representing Convention & Visitors Bureau Janet Kraus-secretary and representing Jefferson Country Art Guild Kathy Tate-public relation and representing Women Club Mike and Barb Hankins-treasurer and representing French Colonial Jerry Fallert-Perry Art Guild Mary Beth Ferguson-food and tents John Wibbenmeyer-entertainment Mary Jo Raimer-public relation and reception Judy Sexauer-art display Anna Kirchner-art display and representing Ste. Genevieve Art Guild Goals Provide a venue for local artists and art guilds to display and sell their creations with an eye to the past, remembering the Artists Colony and Summer Schools of Art which thrived is Ste. Genevieve from 1932-1941. Encourage today's artists to paint the countryside and people of their counties in the tradition of the Impressionists in France and in the spirit of the summer school artist. Showcase the work locally owned and preserved from the Summer School artists in one of the original sites used by the colony, the Mammy Shaw House. Educate the public about the traditions of Art in Ste. Genevieve while alerting them to all of the treasures which abound in the town, it's historic homes, gardens, and unique shops and restaurants.
