tOfficial Art Fair Thread
Visiting? Selling? Buying? Oggling? Staying away due to lack of outdoor State Street AC? Etc.
I'll post any notable booths and would appreciate others doing the same. One year (05) UMHS or a section therein did a booth of medical slide prints that were dyed and framed that I bought from as a grad gift to myself. Haven't seen it since. Etc.
I live like a block away, and still haven't walked through yet. It's just been too damn hot for the last two days.
I am a bio nerd and I love the microscopy art booth on e. University by the school of education.
What's the locale
Are you talking about the one featured in this annarbor.com article?
The Bio-Artography booth is # 155 located on the corner of East University and Willard at the South University Art Fair.The article includes the image below with this caption: “Flychedelic” by graduate student Andrea Ramos. This image shows a developing larva of the fruit fly drosophila melanogaster
I have a bone cell in green entitled Superman
The elephant ears on Ingalls Mall are tremendous!
Did the whole fair by 1.
<br>
<br>Best thing I saw was a quilt made out of old cloth book covers.
It's currently worse here no joke
It's hot out, but swinging by the anti-circumcision tent on Washington is always a must for me.
serious?!?!!
Hands of our penises! (H.O.O.P.)
My penis has no hands
My whole life has been a quest to get MORE hands on my penis.
And I meant "off" earlier...damn typo!
love me some intactivists
And it's always hot....but I don't know if I'm down with melting after just the first 3 blocks. Especially after work. Maybe Saturday morning... Just the people watching might be fun. It's been many a year since I haven't scoured ever inch of the Fair, but this might be the off year.

<br>On a side note, my mom was at the very first Art Fair...all one block of it.
That look so real they kind of freak my kids out. Regardless, I can't stop looking at them
bought a painting from the guy who did the poster for the state/liberty/main st art fair. fortunately it's his first time and he has failed to understand art fair pricing. also says he sold the original painting that became the poster for $100 before he knew it was going to be picked. first art fair purchase that was immediately worth more than it cost ever, i bet.
There's an artist on Liberty, between Maynard and State, who set up a mister just outside his tent. I just about frenched him on the mouth yesterday. He was super popular. He also had gorgeous jewelery but it was all outside of my budget by a 4-figure margin.
Who knew what a hand fan and a spray water bottle could get you at the Art Fair...
In the Nickels Arcade, there's an artist who has a business called "Gulo Gulo." She's selling t-shirts with a kinda cool wolverine logo.
What I really liked was an enlarged print of a photo of her granddad, who was captain of the U-M team back around in the early 1900s. The photo was so cool (he's in a blue sweater with a big yellow skinny M of the day, and padded leggings). I was bummed she wasn't selling copies.
