The Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts - St. Louis, Missouri Through exhibitions, its building and its program collaborations with other arts institutions, the Pulitzer seeks to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of art in the context of architecture.

A museum-like facility with galleries that are open to the public two days a week. Through changing exhibitions, world-renowned architecture and innovative programming, the Pulitzer serves as a place of both experimentation and reflection for artists, scholars, students and the general public. A priority continues to be participation in the renewal of the Grand Center district of St. Louis and a strong commitment to the growth of the arts community. Exhibitions at the Pulitzer rotate approximately every six months.

Each strongly relates the art to the architecture, instead of emphasizing an art historical narration or presenting works from a specific collection. A personal experience with the artwork is a key aspect of the visit; therefore there are no labels to detract from an immediate aesthetic experience.

The Pulitzer also engages in a variety of programming that directly relates to the exhibition on view. This includes academic symposia, panel discussions, and a variety of student docent initiatives and events. Additionally, the Pulitzer is engaged in an ongoing collaborative chamber concert series with the Saint Louis Symphony Orchestra, which provides a unique and intimate way to experience music, art and architecture. Concert programs are chosen based on their relationship to the artworks exhibited.
