SUMMARY:Art of the Sign
DESCRIPTION:Bill Christman\, founder of Beatnik Bob’s\, was a close friend of Bob and Gail Cassilly and has had a lasting impression on City Museum. The area dubbed “Museum of Mirth\, Mystery and Mayhem\,” which includes Beatnik Bob’s\, was established when City Museum opened in 1997. It has hosted a myriad of exhibits\, including the now iconic giant underwear. Throughout the years\, this space has had carnival-like atmosphere with live music\, portraitures\, psychics\, a History of the Corn Dog exhibit\, and mankind’s search for nougat. \n\n\n\nPrior to his time at City Museum\, Bill was the head artist of Christman Studios\, where he designed and produced signs\, exhibits\, sculpture\, and theatrical scenery. This exhibit will celebrate Bill’s sign work\, highlight the uniqueness of hand-painted signs\, and explore the definition of what makes a sign. In Bill’s own words\, “The visitor should feel elevated upon perusing.” \n\n\n\nOpening ReceptionFriday\, June 6 from 5pm–7pmBeatnik Bob’s (3rd Floor) \n\n\n\nExhibit DatesFriday\, June 6\, 2025 – Monday\, Sept. 7\, 2026Beatnik Bob’s and Museum of Mirth\, Mystery and Mayhem (3rd Floor) \n\n\n\nIncluded with General Admission or Member Pass.

SUMMARY:Robot Renaissance
DESCRIPTION:Robot Renaissance exhibit by Bill Christman and Dave Rudis \nExhibit Dates\n\n\n\nFriday\, March 13 – Sunday\, May 31 \n\n\n\nOpening Reception\n\n\n\nFriday\, March 13 from 5pm–9pm \n\n\n\nExhibit and Reception are in Beatnik Bobs on 3rd Floor. Included with General Admission or Member Pass. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n	\n	Buy Tickets	\n\n	\n\n\n\n\nRobots are experiencing a Renaissance! They’re approaching autonomy by reading up on existentialism and pondering the cosmos over a cocktail in Beatnik Bobs. These particular\, peculiar robots are built with everyday objects by St. Louis artists Bill Christman and Dave Rudis. \n\n\n\nDave Rudis discusses his process for creating the sculptures you will see: “My body of work takes found everyday discarded materials and transforms them into artistic compositions. The majority of materials used were destined for landfills; items are found in dumpsters\, allies\, roadside finds or provided by people in the community. Creations are either assembled with mechanical fasteners or welded. The materials use can vary from kitchen drawer handles\, old lamps\, miscellaneous scrap metal or whatever I can find.” \n\n\n\nCome be a part of the Robot Renaissance and find enlightenment!
