GALA EN BLANC

Photos and story by Bryan Schraier

All the wonders of the circus greeted guests as they were shuttled to The Big Top in St. Louis’ Grand Center Arts District for Urban Sprouts’ Gala En Blanc. Met by circus performers, guests played ringtoss for wine and enjoyed popcorn, funnel cakes, cotton candy and even a cigar lounge. All attendees wore white for the event supporting the Urban Sprouts Child Development Center in University City.
