Spooky Art Shows

The St. James Court Art Fair and this weekend’s proximity to Halloween make it the ideal time for artists specializing in underground wares to throw their own art events in the Louisville area. You’re probably not going to find tarot cards, spell kits and vintage embalming arterial tubes in Old Louisville.
