LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- Another art festival happened in Old Louisville this weekend.
The Louisville UnFair took place at MagBar on South Second Street. Organizers said the event provides an inclusive and unconventional platform for local artists to showcase their talents and connect with the community.
It started in 1997.
Artists aren't charged to participate and keep 100% of the money they make during the show. There's also food and music.
"Being an artist is really tough and we understand that so what we try to do is look for marginalized artists," Nick Knight said. "Artists that might have disadvantages - that may have a couple things going against them that may make it hard to be able to get into an art show like St. James."
Over the years several of the artists have gone on to be accepted into the St. James Court Art Show and open up their own galleries in Louisville.
