STL.org is delighted to welcome you to our new series Curated by CURIOSITY, one of our monthly engagements aimed at bringing together people from all different facets of our community and celebrating the creative spirit of our city.
This month we are honored to welcome Visual Artist, Ria Unson. Unson is a Filipino American artist living and working in St. Louis. Born in Manila, she emigrated to the United States at age 13. Ria’s award-winning work has been featured in solo and group exhibitions throughout the St. Louis region. Her most recent show was at Lambert airport’s Kling Family Gallery. Her art is in the Missouri History Museum’s permanent collection and in private collections in the Philippines and North America. Ria has been featured in local and national media, including the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, PBS NewsHour and the New York Times.
STL.org has two simple goals: To capture humanity. To inspire community. In the words of our founder Chris Ryan, "We believe that everyone has a story worth sharing, and we’re here to provide the platform. By taking the time to listen, we build connections through shared passions, witnessing the unique creativity and dedication of our community. Our mission is to document and amplify the flourishing spirit of St. Louis, celebrating its vibrant culture and the remarkable talent that calls this region home."
STL.org is a passion project for passion projects.
