The Skinker-DeBaliviere Art Fair—House Tour, the oldest neighborhood festival in St. Louis, celebrates its 10th anniversary on Mother’s Day, May 8. From noon to 5 pm the 6100 block of Kingsbury will become a pedestrian mall where 150 artists will display and sell their work while competing for cash prizes. The judging for these prizes will be done by Helen Schwartz.
Tickets for the House Tour are $1 for the entire tour featuring six homes. Tickets may be purchased at the Information Booth or any house on the tour. Free bus transportation will be provided for those taking advantage of this yearly opportunity to view the variety of designs, furnishings, and lifestyles available in our neighborhood. The busses for this are provided through the cooperation of Washington University. There will be a bus stop for those embarking from the Art Fair at the McPherson-Kingsbury alley on Rosedale just South of the entrance to the Fair itself.
For other special activities, as well as places to stop for refreshments, see other features and advertisements in this issue of The Paper.
