The St James Court Art Show begins Friday Oct 2nd and will continue through Sunday October 4th. This year marks the 53rd time that artists have gathered for the annual event that was voted Best Art Show in the Nation during 3 of the last 6 years.
This year, over 750 artists from throughout North America will be displaying their works for an expected 300,000 patrons. In fact, more people come to Louisville for this event than for the Kentucky Derby. Categories include Clay, Glass, Leather, Jewelry, Metal, Mixed Media 3D, Photography, Sculpture, Wood, and several others.
The show is held in the heart of Old Louisville. Booths will be setup in St James Court as well as along Third St, Fourth St, and Magnolia Ave. Official participants will be proudly displaying the 2009 Art Show Exhibitor Booth Cards and wearing similar buttons. Be aware that some homeowners allow non-participants to setup in their yards around the event.
Old Louisville neighborhood associations use proceeds from the show for the benefit of the local community. Beautification and restoration projects are completed as well as other philanthropic endeavors.
Hours:
- Fri - 10a-6p
- Sat - 10a-6p
- Sun - 10a-5p
