St. James Court Art Show Visiting Artist Day

This year marks the 51st Annual St. James Court Art Show, but before the show even begins artists are in town helping local schools.  This year is the 4th annual Visiting Artist Day.  The art show has partnered with Norton Healthcare and Jefferson County Public Schools to bring 14-plus artists into 14 elementary schools.

The artists will meet with 5th graders to give them a hands-on approach to understanding art.  Not only will this be helping the children prepare for spring testing it will benefit children at Kosair Children’s Hospital. 

Some of the art the children make will be given to patients at the children’s hospital. "There is an important connection between art and healing," said Lynnie Meyer, R.N., MSN, Chief Development Officer for Norton Healthcare. "We see it in programs such as music therapy and expressive therapy supported by the Norton Healthcare Foundation and Children's Hospital Foundation. The St. James Court Art Show showcases the work of artists like those who tirelessly help our patients and we are proud and honored to be a part of this wonderful event." 


Kids learn "hands on"

Visiting Artist Day takes place on Wednesday, October 3, 2007.  The fourteen elementary schools participating in this program are: Bloom, Brown, Byck, Camp Taylor, Chancey, Chenoweth, Cochran, Coleridge-Taylor, Farmer, Goldsmith, Maupin, Price, Stopher and Wilkerson. 

The time is from 10AM to 3PM.
