The St. James Court Art Show is a juried fine arts and fine crafts show produced by a consortium of five non-profit neighborhood associations: Belgravia Court, South Third Street, 1300 South Third Street, St. James Court and South Fourth Street; and the West End Baptist Church. Always held the first full week/files/storyimages/of October, it hosts an impressive 650 plus artists from all over the Americas. Held in the heart of historic Old Louisville among the country's largest collection of Victorian homes, the St. James Court Art Show has for over four decades provided our neighborhood, city and state with a rich cultural and artistic legacy.

The show is held in historic Old Louisville just south of Central Park on St. James and Belgravia Courts, and adjacent blocks of Magnolia Avenue and Third and Fourth Streets. Old Louisville is approximately 3 miles south of downtown. The Ohio River separates downtown Louisville from Indiana on the north. |

Get immediately in the leftmost lane, then turn left on First Street if you wish to park your own car. Continue on First Street for several blocks. From First, turn right onto Hill. You will then cross a series of numbered streets (2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc.); turn left onto 6th Street. 6th will curve sharply to the left, turning into Gaulbert Avenue. At this curve, you may enter the Cochran Elementary School lot to park, which is the closest show-sponsored parking lot. "Parking/Shuttle" under Visitor Info.
