streets closing
unloading, building, signage, displays
artists on task
townies abuzz
beautiful skies
everything in full swing
high excitement in the air
can’t wait to visit.

I suppose we are all artists of one sort or another. Keep creating.

Growing up in Flint and being young hippies in the early 70’s the A2 art fair was a must do every summer. It was so much fun and I still have a few pieces I bought way back when. Things were way less expensive then that a young person could actually afford. Have fun! Chris

Yes, some of it is way expensive, but there are so many cool things to see, artist to talk to, and deals to be had.

so far, so good. for some reason, for many years in a row, we generally have one freaky extreme weather day, and we made it though the first day already so fingers crossed

We have the ‚Reed‘s Festival‘ for three days over here. today, after I left the strand-swimming-pool (with pools outside and in the lake and a terrific infrastructure), I suddenly realised that on the large field next to the ‚bath‘ there were hundreds of camper vans, tents, cars and mobile homes parked there…. washing was hanging out, and countless ppl were milling around. i just wondered where my eyes and my mind where on my way to! I only felt that there were rather a lot of ppl at this early hour but put it down to my arriving 1/2h later! Now we won‘t sleep for 2 nights because the basses cut right through everything – but i‘m happy for the festival visitors and bands and food stands – it‘s such a good thing to offer happiness and fun.
