On Mother’s Day, May 11, 1975, the Skinker-DeBaliviere Neighborhood will be host to artists and visitors from all over the St. Louis area. This will be the eighth year for the Skinker-DeBaliviere Art Fair and House Tour, and it promises to be one of the best. As in the past the 6100 block of Kingsbury will be closed to traffic between noon and 5:00 p.m. so that artists may display their work along the tree-shaded avenue. Over 100 artists are expected to participate this year. Their work will be judged by Mr. Douglas Norton, of Norton Galleries, and cash prizes will be awarded.
In addition to the regular features of the day, which include a children’s art display, fund-raising booths for several non-profit neighborhood groups, music, and pleasant atmosphere, this year restroom facilities will be provided on Rosedale.
This year the Art Fair Committee, headed by Gee Stuart, has decided not to allow dogs or bicycles at the Fair. The Committee asks everyone’s cooperation in this regard.
