Inaugurating Barrett Barrera Projects’ new gallery space—projects exhibitions (4568 Manchester Avenue)—is Ann Ray & Lee McQueen: Rendez-Vous, which will be on view from Oct. 5, 2019 to Feb. 15, 2020, opening to the public on Oct. 5.

Ann Ray & Lee McQueen: Rendez-Vous explores the thirteen-year friendship and intimate creative collaboration between the late British designer Lee Alexander McQueen and French photographer Ann Ray (otherwise known as Anne Deniau), who McQueen personally selected to document his design process and the behind-the-scenes experience of his runway shows.

The exhibition features photographs taken by Ray, reflecting her unique relationship with McQueen between the years of 1997 and 2010, alongside garments McQueen gifted to her over the course of their work together. The exhibition will also feature over two dozen spectacular McQueen pieces from Barrett Barrera Projects’ collection, the largest private collection of McQueen’s work.

It is located in the historic Jefferson Barracks Park.

The museum has many hands-on, how-things-work exhibits which were created to inspire an interest in engineering and history.

Fete de Grace Ice Carving Competition is from 9 – 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, January 25 at North Main Street, 100 N. Main Street in Saint Charles.

This ice festival is the perfect family activity. Ice carvers fill two blocks of North Main Street in St. Charles. You can watch carvers bring the ephemeral art of ice carving to life with chainsaws, chisels, grinders and knives, as well as hot irons and cold spray.  Each carver starts with a single block of ice weighing 260 lbs. and dissects it and reassembles it into wondrous sparkling creations.

There are outdoor fire pits, restaurants serving breakfast or lunch and shops to wander in to help you stay warm.  Plan to stay for a few hours so you can watch the sculptures develop from a block of ice.

Historical Society Quarterly Meeting is at noon on Saturday, January 25 at the All Occasion Banquet Center, 111 Compass Point Drive in St. Charles.
