An Annual Event

Time for the Ann Arbor Art Fair! Ceramics, creations from found objects, photography, souvenir tee shirts, artistic clothing
and fabrics, food truck snacks, free samples of drinks, musical performances and more. We saw only a small part of the fair.

We saw a few amusing artists' booths, such as this one with a kind of steam-punk art.
In general, the art this year was very disappointing, in our opinion, and little that was new was appealing to us.
We bought one framed photograph from a photo artist whose work we have purchased in the past.
As today was the first day of the fair, crowds were still pretty thin.
Saturday and Sunday will likely be much more congested. 

The beautiful fountain by Carl Milles is actually turned on this year, with tables around it for patrons
of the nearby food trucks. This part of the art fair is on the University of Michigan campus.

These are great photos to capture the energy of the fair. Sorry you didn't find more that you wanted but maybe that's a good thing! Sure was hot enough!

I love art festivals. We have been known to stop for a row of tents and have found some great items. Excellent photos.
