The Historic Shaw Art Fair is highly rated by artists for easy load-in/take-down, warm hospitality, a beautiful ­setting, hard-working volunteers and good sales. It is held in one of St. Louis’ finest historic neighborhoods — the Shaw Neighborhood. Stately homes along a tree-lined parkway provide a gracious setting for artists and visitors. A food court and live music, plus children's gallery and activity area round out the offerings.

The Art Fair will take place on the same weekend as the Best of Missouri Market at the Missouri Botanical Garden — typically held on the first complete October weekend each year — which is within walking distance of the Fair.

Artists comments
  • Easiest set up ever, great neighborhood, great venue, wonderful volunteers and organizers. Couldn't ask for better. And the food booths this year were INSANE! DELISH!!!
  • Good show. Amazing setting.
  • It is very unusual that I can't find something to complain about regarding a show. This show is the exception. Keep doing what you are doing. I don't know how you could make it a better.
  • Thank you to all the volunteers that give their time over the weekend. You have some of the best that care about the artist.
