Born in St. Louis on May 27, 1911, Vincent Price retained a fondness for his place of origin, and that love will be reciprocated with Vincentennial, a celebration of his 100th birthday in his hometown.  

Scheduled for May 20 - 27, 2011 at multiple venues (Washington University, Missouri History Museum, Hi-Pointe Theatre, Star Clipper, Sheldon Concert Hall and Art Galleries), Vincentennial will include screenings of at least a dozen of Price’s major works, and participation by filmmakers/actors, critics, and academics, who will conduct interviews, introduce and discuss films, and present lectures and special events. Invitees will include Victoria Price, his daughter and biographer (Vincent Price: A Daughter’s Biography); exhibits of Price-related artifacts, artwork, and memorabilia at the Sheldon Concert Hall and Art Galleries; and a gallery show at Star Clipper from April 29 to June 26, 2011 honoring Vincent Price’s legacy in comics.
