Today the artists are all arriving in Ann Arbor and setting up semi-permanent installations for the days ahead. Did you, fellow artist, do your Facebook, twitter, email newsletter and blog postings to bring your customers to join the celebration? I've only found one so far from my "google alerts":
Marina Terauds' beautiful blog post: http://teraudsstudio.blogspot.com/2010/07/ann-arbor-street-art-fair-original.html
And this one on my Facebook page from Patricia Hecker: http://tattoodreams.blogspot.com/
The ArtFairCalendar.com Featured Artist, John Leben, sent out an excellent email newsletter to his subscribers. Good job, John!
Come on folks -- post this information to the ArtFairCalendar.com Facebook page at this link: http://www.facebook.com/#!/artfairs?ref=ts. It is linked and will go viral through the Internet to the thousands attending the fairs. I'm willing to bet that next year there will be more than three of you using the Internet to bring customers to Ann Arbor.
Loving this story on the Michigan Radio NPR site: Is it News that it will be Hot, Stormy During Art Fair?
And here is a old post on my old site, a decent overview of a visit to the fair: http://artfaircalendar.wordpress.com/2008/07/19/dont-miss-it-ann-arbor-awaits-all/
I'll be attending on Friday -- anyone want to meet at the corner of North University and State at 10 am?
The Original Art Fair, The Street Fair, has a new director this year, Maureen Riley, formerly with the Detroit Festival of the Arts. Here's wishing you a grand debut, Mo!
