The Sheldon has been a uniquely St. Louis institution for more than 100 years—equal parts concert hall, art gallery, community collaborator, arts educator, and historic venue. We are part of the cultural fabric that stitches St. Louis and the world together, where the community can connect, experience, learn, and celebrate.
We host over 350 events each year. Artists like Dave Brubeck, Diana Krall, José Carreras, Herbie Hancock, Joan Baez, Willie Nelson, Lyle Lovett, B.B. King, Mavis Staples, Wynton Marsalis, Judy Collins and Renée Fleming have all graced our stage. And over 300 exhibits have shown in our galleries since 1998. We also present a wide range of educational programs for schools serving over 30,000 St. Louis-area students each year, and host hundreds of weddings, community events and other celebrations in our historic event spaces.
