An African culture and arts festival this weekend kicks off a major exhibit of Central African art and two months of African-related activities in St. Louis.

Among events linked to the exhibit are a special African dinner (Tuesday, $35.95), a film festival (Oct. 9, 10, 11 and 17) and African musical performances (Oct. 4 and 18). Adult admission to the art show is $5; free on Tuesdays. Information: telephone (314) 721-0072.
