Hermes Trismegistus

Allison Baker - Sculptor & Installation Artist

Turns the Hallberg Center for the Arts into an installation sculpture!

Sweetness is the most cunning means of crowd control, an effective method to subdue the masses.

Gilded gumdrops: pastel, gelatinous, rolled in sugar and arsenic that suck fillings from your molars and leave sweaters on your teeth.

My work is half melted-ice cream peppered with sand.

My work is an incantation.

Join us for a celebration at Hermann the German! The party is held at Hermann Heights Park (10 Monument St.) in the shadow of the 102-foot monument, and below in Harman Park (101 North Garden St.).

Henning Haunted House

The Henning Haunted House was started in 2012. The brain child of Kathryn "Brock" Brockman and Michelle Boeckers; recruiting began for buliders, scarers, and volunteers. With a core group of 10-15 people, a haunted house was born.
The first two years the house was in an old, unoccupied church. After that the house was lucky enough to move into Henning's first community center. It is now located in the upper floor of a 100+ year old building.
