Sunday at the St. James Court Art Show
I managed to get down to the St. James Court Art Show yesterday for about 3 hours and enjoyed all the arts and crafts despite the heat. There were hundreds of booths that contained anything from clothing and kites, to expensive paintings and handmade vases. There were also plenty of food vendors and informational booths to keep the visitors feed and occupied.
I know that I did not see every vendor or artist, but we did view quite a number of booths and small shows in some of the open houses. Some of my favorites included Kendra Krumpe who dyes her own fabrics and makes wonderfully colorful handbags. Kats by Kelly was an incredibly fun booth for cat lovers with all types of whimsical cat cartoons and drawings. Artist, Jerry Krider, had some incredible wood pieces displayed that included some very intricate and beautiful puzzles. Michael & Jennifer Burt are two stained glass and jewelry artists who had several pieces that were very appealing in both form and color. I also fell in love with the glasswork of both James R. Wilbat and Stephen Rich Nelson.
There was also an area between the Mag Bar and the actual art show where artists had their own work displayed for the visitors. This was the “Unfair” and held some interesting pieces of art, jewelry, and clothing. There was even a small table in which you could have your fortune told with Tarot cards.
Parking can be a problem during this event so I printed off a site and parking directions map from the website, and decided to park near JCC. Parking at that lot cost $10 and included a ride in a nice air-conditioned van to 2nd Street and Magnolia and then a pass to get back to the lot. Not only was this a much better way to get down to the art fair but the fee also goes towards making improvements to the Old Louisville neighborhood.
