FRIDAY
Rewinder, Memory Gloss, Yutta Newman
Kaiju $5 | 9 p.m. | 21+ The garage trash/grunge duo Rewinder is coming all the way from Paris, France to play at Kaiju this Friday.

St. James Court Art Fair
Old Louisville Free | 10 a.m. The St. James Court Art Fair is the largest art fair in Louisville with over 725 artists, and its held in the heart of Americas largest collection of Victorian homes. Needless to say, even if you dont buy a new piece of art for your home, this event is a great excuse just to walk around this historic neighborhood and enjoy the work of these many amazing artists.
UnFair
Mag Bar Free | 10 a.m. That being said, The St. James Court Art Fair has a certain style that doesnt include everyone. If you are into more eclectic, subversive or straight up sinful art (aka a reader of LEO) then the UnFair is for you. This black sheep art fair has been going on now for 20 years and has grown into an event all on its own. So go, be sinful and merry.
“Ghosts of Motion” (ends Sept. 30)
UofL’s Photo Archives Free | 8 a.m. Ghosts of Motion is a show filled with examples of unintentional blur in photography from some of the Photographic Archives collections. These photos, which are often viewed as mistakes by the artists, unintentionally create the illusion of ghosts being captured in a photo. See this perfectly halloween themed show before it ends this Friday.
“Urban(e)” (ends Sept. 30) Kentucky Fine Art Gallery Free | 6 p.m. David O. Schuster considers himself a contemporary realist using a variety of media and technical approaches. And his latest collection of new work is hanging up in the Kentucky Fine Art Gallery, but be sure and see this work before its taken down this Friday.
