The fountain by Carl Milles was a welcome sight. Last year they never removed the winter covering,
thanks to the pandemic. Now it's back to normal. |

The Ann Arbor Art Fair has been an annual event every July since 1960 -- except for last year when everything, yes everything, was cancelled. The welcome decision to hold a fair this year was made very late. The size of the fair is much smaller than in the recent past, and the fair only lasts for three days. I didn't see any food trucks in the usual food vending area, so I suspect that outdoor dining was cancelled as well. The Ann Arbor Potters Guild participation seems not to have happened this year either.
We walked through quite a bit of the fair this morning, and my favorite photos are above. We were also very charmed by two artists: Ray Kenyatta, who makes silk screen images from his photographic negatives; and Radim Schreiber (
https://fireflyexperience.org/), who photographs insects, especially fireflies. We bought one of Schreiber's works.
Today was Day 1, and it wasn't very crowded. I hope the artists do very well.

This is a beautiful art fair. The art is pretty spectacular.
I hope they fair well! Why is the fountain covered in winter?
Fun craft far. That blue pottery is amazing. It is nice to have these activities back, isn't it?
I haven't been to this in ages. It completely wore me out the last time!
I'd love walking around a fair like this one.
I hope the artists do well, too. I'm glad that this event was a go this year.
Glad you have a fair - sad no food trucks, I miss both, too.
The bike I would´ve bought! Very cool.
Not sure about those huge plastic masks. But maybe right for people who don´t wear glasses. Only thing I´m glad for needing glasses - eyes are covered.
Looking forward to day 2 :-)
Here still... nothing. Enjoy for all of your fellow, stuck bloggers, please.
How fun! I particularly love the skeletons on bicycles display.
What a lovely art fair. I especially love the blue pottery and the bicycle art. Hope you are having a good weekend.
I really do miss any type of fair so much. I used to love going to fairs! No idea when it will start opening again here in SA.
Lovely pics and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

I love these kinds of affairs but I don't imagine we will have any this year.
I do like the poster. I am attracted to bicycles although I haven't ridden in years.
Great art, I love things like this, especially since I'm also a people watcher too. People are pretty fascinating.
Oh wow, great pictures from the Art Fair! Thanks for sharing!
