This weekend is the famous St. James Court Art Show that takes over a portion of downtown and Old Louisville every year. The show features over 750 artists and admission is free. You will have three days to peruse the various artist and concession booths in one of the countries premier art festivals. The art fair is held in the Old Louisville neighborhood near Central Park.
The show was started in 1957 and attracts over 300,000 visitors over the three-day festival. The show is sponsors by five neighborhood associations including, Belgravia Court, South 3rd Street, 1300 South Third Street, St. James Court and South Fourth Street, and the West End Baptist Church.
The St. James Court Art Show has been named the best fine art and design show for 2007, 2005, and 2004 by Sunshine Artist magazine, America’s premier show and festival publication. Part of the reason this art show is so popular is that there is a wide range of art styles, media, and cost. This year Marguerite Rice’s, a Louisville native, design was chosen as the 2007 St. James Court Art Show poster.
Along with the many booths there will be a place sponsored by Whole Foods Market where children can create art from recycled materials. However, there are no pets allow at this particular event. There will be both a silent and live auction of donated prices by exhibiting artists, that benefits the Kosair Charities.
While you are visiting the St. James Court Art Show, make sure to visit the Conrad-Caldwell House, on St. James Court and the solo show of local artist Amanda Matthews Fields, at Spalding University.
