// STL VINTAGE NIGHTFEST × ROSA CAFE
A monthly gallery for St. Louis visual artists, tucked inside Rosa Cafe STL.
New artists and a new theme every month. Open to the community once a week.
// WHAT IS ART 4 ART
Your art, on our walls
Art 4 Art is our exchange for visual artists. Approved artists get free vending space at STL Vintage Nightfest in exchange for artwork made for the network: flyers, posters, physical pieces, live canvas or installations. You keep your own sales. Exact terms are agreed with each artist before anything is made.
What is The Hidden Gallery?
The Hidden Gallery is a place for local artists to share their work and for the community to discover something they love. Visitors can browse, connect with artists, and buy directly from them.
Rosa provides the space for free, and STL Vintage Nightfest organizes the exhibits and brings artists together at the coffeehouse.
// HOW IT WORKS
One gallery, three rhythms
01 // MONTHLY
Artist night. One night a month, the featured visual artists are at Rosa Cafe in person with their work.
02 // WEEKLY
Community viewing. Once a week the Hidden Gallery opens so anyone can come see the pieces.
03 // NEW THEME
Every meet the artist in the flesh night, the theme changes. Each theme follows the STL Vintage Nightfest timeline, so the gallery always matches what’s happening next.

How often does the artwork change?
A new exhibition goes up on the fourth Sunday of each month, with artwork selected together by Rosa Cafe and STL Vintage Nightfest.
