The fall celebration for St. Louis’ influential female business leaders, hosted by Commerce Bank and Commerce Trust in partnership with LKS Styling + Consulting, brought an evening of connection and culture to the St. Louis Art Museum. The event centered on an inspiring fireside chat between SLAM’s Barbara B. Taylor Director, Min Jung Kim, and Laura Sawyier.
Kim offered a rare, behind-the-scenes look at the vision and curatorial process for the monumental exhibition Anselm Kiefer: Becoming the Sea. The discussion explored the show’s significant ties to St. Louis and highlighted themes of leadership and the impact of inspiring women in the arts. Set against the backdrop of one of the city's most iconic cultural institutions, the evening celebrated the intersection of business, art, and community influence.
