The beginning of October brings even more artsy stuff to Louisville with the St. James Court Art Show. And what a beautiful day in October it was. Everything about the atmosphere felt right for the art show.

Located right in the heart of Old Louisville, surrounded by Victorian mansions I can only hope to one day afford, the Art Show manages to close roads and takes up several blocks.

As you make your way through the maze of tents you start to question whether or not you will actually get to see all of the exhibits. (I’m actually not quite sure if I did manage to see it all.)

It’s evident that the art show really brings the community together as exhibits varied from high school tents, local artists and hobbyist, to even young children playing fine instruments.

It was probably for the best that I forgot to stop at the ATM before I ventured though the show because I would have spent a fortune. I saw little knickknacks here and there, arts and crafts and even that certain piece to fill an empty corner in a room that just really brings a place together. I also caught myself browsing through an abundance of Louisville oriented prints as well as other Kentucky prints that really reminded me of home.

But what kind of gathering of people would it be if you didn’t have a chow wagon? Exactly!

Finally, I found my self in the center of St. James Court when I found the beautiful water fountain and flame lit street lights powered by a gas line and thought to myself, “Why have I never explored Old Louisville on a Sunny Day before?”
