THE SHOW
Join us in November 2026 for a show of Danny Bess’ painted works including new, large format, and previously undisplayed pieces.
These beautiful pieces, with their expressive brushwork and larger-than-life scale, have a texture and feel which simply cannot be conveyed on screen. These works are best seen in person.
In addition to displaying his artwork, Bess will be performing on piano, accompanied by an entourage of local musicians.
THE ARTIST
Danny Bess was born in Saint Louis Missouri, introduced to music and art at a young age, and encouraged to explore his creativity early on in life. Danny’s Great Grandfather Eddie Prinz was a portrait painter and saxophonist through the great depression, his Grandmother Johanna Prinz was a mixed media artist, and his grandfather Danny Schweiss was a landscape painter. And so, Danny claims to come from a long line of creative individuals. He met my wife Elise in 2005 and they set out to start a life together, she has been an inspiration for him ever since. While Danny held on to his passion for making art through young adulthood, he also worked on making deep connections with people throughout life. It is in these connections with other people that Danny explores art and music as an adult.
THE SPACE
The WEvent Space is a distinctive venue located in the heart of the Tower Grove South neighborhood, set within a beautifully restored church. Embracing the spirit of its historic roots, the space provides a laid-back, welcoming setting for a wide array of local live acts. Central to its mission is the WEConcert Series—an ongoing effort to reestablish the former church as a vibrant hub and gathering place for the community. Through music, art, and connection, WEvent Space invites all to be part of a shared creative experience in one of the neighborhood’s most unique venues.
