Not much to say this weekend since I was not participating in any event... But I did attend as a little patron the Ann Arbor art fairs both Wednesday evening and Thursday evening. I did purchase a small etching and auqatint from Martha Hayden. I do have a number of her etching and aquatints in my house. I have been collecting her work since 1998.
But I also visited booths during the fairs. Seeing Kim Ensch's work of beautiful paper collé pieces at South U. We met at the Ella Sharp Art & Wine Festival last year and found out we booth work in some capacity for the Detroit Institute Arts. Kim is an instructor in the studio and I have been a volunteer there for 16 years...
Then visited Elle Heiligenstein's booth in the Guild show and was mesmerized by a transistor radio character and the squirrel character. And also visiting my friend Cesar Nogueira at the State Street show. We were neighbors at the Crosby Festival of the Arts. He does magnificent bird sculptures out of natural gemstones.
And then there was the Art Fair Insiders get together at Savas. I had a lengthy discussion with Larry Berman and him giving me some pointers on my booth. Mainly, that my images are still too small. But Larry, can you share with us the sites for frames and mats? Thank you!
So, not participating this weekend, but learned a lot...
