My sister-in-law and I spent last Saturday exploring NULU. We came across this gallery, which I had…read morenever noticed before. Turns out it had just recently opened so we went inside. Stu, the owner, is an amazing artist. You must see the table he created! It looks like water is running through the middle of it. So unique and perfect for a large room. The gallery has many other interesting items.

Imagine an art gallery where it's the best part of Halloween all the time. A place with an amazing…read moreselection of prints, ceramics, one-of-a-kind pieces, jewelry, and housewares. That's Aurora. Everywhere you look, you will see something fascinating tucked into a corner somewhere. The staff is so nice and helpful, prices are great for a gallery, and they support real local Louisville artists. A one of a kind place to shop or just enjoy the art on every inch of the walls.

Honestly, I'm obsessed!…read more Aurora Gallery & Boutique is awesome! I'm going to be recommending this shop (and art gallery) to everyone I know. I loved everything inside, from the bath salts, to candles, to pins, to jewelry.. it's all so my style. Plus, the artwork is fantastic! The show I saw displayed was absolutely gorgeous! If you're in the market for artwork, Aurora is a great spot to visit. I will definitely be frequenting Aurora, both for myself and for gift shopping. They offer so many items in the shop, both big and small, in a range of prices, so it's the perfect place to check out if you're picking up something for a loved one (or simply to treat yourself). Do yourself a favor and check this spot out. I have a feeling you're going to find something you love!

Year after year, St. James continues to be a Louisville institution that lives up to the hype!…read more We attended most recently with the entire fam, and despite the big crowds, it was a great event to bring them to. After 15-20 minutes of driving around, we found free street parking on a side street. And we found several booths to look in. Our son even found one booth with art that caught his eye, and we ended up buying two prints that we plan to frame and hang. Along with the art, I love all of the community groups that have booths and local food options. And when our kids wanted to run a bit -- up to that point they had been taking eveything in from a cart -- we went to the playground behind the Old Louisville Visitors Centers. Wiggles managed! Having Central Park nearby also offers such a beautiful spot to relax. I stand by my tips in my previous review, and wanted to write an update to commend this large event on being consistently great year after year. We will definitely be back!

I've not missed an art show in over a decade. Any time I have, the fall didn't start off quite…read moreright. My favorite day to visit is Friday and I prefer to get there at the start of the morning. We need minimum 4 hours, maybe 6 to move slower to visit all the areas. Parking can be tricky; however, there's several options to support community schools and churches to pay by car. The fountain area is a favorite picture spot, but my favorite areas are the smaller streets. Several of the repeat artists have become my favorite and where I purchase reproductions of their original artwork. I also find my favorite noodles mixed with veggies and soy sauce, close to shared picnic tables. Visitor tips: wear comfy clothes and shoes, bring an easy to hold bag to stuff your purchases, stash water bottles to start your day - it can be tough to find it later at the show and expensive, wear sunscreen, get a babysitter when you can, take breaks to rest your feet and stretch your back, and bring your out of town friends. Thank you to the volunteers that keep this show running smoothly! I hope every artist has a great experience in Louisville.

Great little shop for browsing and picking up a fun gift or something for your own home!…read more We were greeted warmly by the staff at the counter. This location had only been open a couple of weeks and was very well stocked, tidy, and full of fun stuff throughout. The Mercantile Jeffersonville is similar to their other locations. They are part arty gift store, part antique shop. You work your way through by winding around tables and bookcase displays. There's plenty of local art, some dishes, local college wear, and even a few racks of clothing that lean boho. A great addition to this downtown that always impresses!

Weird Louisville is my favorite Louisville…read more Case in point: Sheherazade. I had heard tell of this 'gallery' several times. But I had no idea where it was or what to really expect. So on a Friday night, wandering around Old Louisville on our way to Mag Bar, my friends were like "Hey! We should look at the art garage!" And I thought "....huh??" That art garage is Sheherazade. It is a single room, a basement or a former garage, closed behind a clear-paned door/wall so you can see inside. Because of this set up, it is always open/viewable. So my first experience with it was at 11pm on a weekend night. The current exhibit (I forgot to snap the name and artist) is a sort of take down of "patriotism" and 'MERICA-ness. Now that I know where and what and how about this spot, I foresee regular return visits to see new exhibits when they pop up!

Keepin' Louisville weird since March 2018, Sheherazade Gallery is a one-car-garage-turned gallery…read morespace, clearly a labor of love from and for the art community. It's always open, meaning you can stagger out of Mag Bar in the middle of the night to see the exhibition. But your only viewpoint is through the locked glass door. (For some reason, Yelp has business hours posted here -- ignore 'em.) In a way, the gallery -- look for it on the Magnolia side -- is mad genius. First of all, it's an awesome use of a one-car garage. Also, there's no overhead required to have some dude sit and stare at his laptop when the gallery is 'open'. And what could be more populist than a gallery that doesn't require its patrons to do anything except turn their necks as they walk down the street? Of course, any gallery is only as good as its art. The advantages and restrictions of this space are stark enough to encourage some really interesting installations, especially if they are site-specific creations. My first visit, I'm pleased to report, was unimpeded by smudgy glass, and I resisted the temptation to press my own nose up to the window. But the daytime glare did present some problems. Whether future exhibitions prove to be interesting or not, we all have a lot more reason to turn down this particular block of Magnolia.
