LOUISVILLE, Ky. — It is one of the highlights of the Louisville art scene, the St. James Court Art Show held the first weekend in October every year in Old Louisville.

Monday, Executive Director Howard Rosenberg announced the show would not go on this year because of the coronavirus. 

Rosenberg said, "The Executive Board, Art Show Staff, and our Executive Director do not take this decision lightly. With an average of over 600 exhibiting artists and 250,000+ visitors, we feel it is the most responsible action to take."

All of the artists from the 2020 art show are automatically invited to exhibit in next year's show which will take place on October 1-3, 2021. 

The art show has been around for 63 years, starting out in 1957 as a way to make money. Now the autumn tradition welcomes thousands of visitors and artists from around the country.
