useful.
“i’ve about decided that’s the main thing
that separates happy people from the other people:
the feeling that you’re a practical item,
with a use, like a sweater or a socket wrench.”

they are the ones.
“many people are good at talking about what they are doing,
but in fact do little.
others do a lot but don’t talk about it;
they are the ones who make a community live.”

ann arbor art fair – july 1978
—
it began in 1960
when
132 artists (99 of them local)
strung their artwork between parking meters
and locals came by
curious to see if artists
would really put their work on display in the street.
it now hosts over 1,000 artists and 500,000 + visitors
from near and far each year.
the ann arbor art fairs
(actually now a group of four)
will kick off today and take over the city
for what always promises to be four days
of creative display, talks with artists,
bargaining, excitement.
music, children’s activities,
and always, always
lots of surprises.
