A2: Art Fairs Recap

AmericaJR.com reports on sales at the Ann Arbor Art Fairs, based on interviews with artists. The answers varied, without any clear consensus. Stormy weather and temperatures reaching 90 degrees dogged the last two days of the fair, traditionally the time when sales are highest. Ceramic artist Jack Charney said sales were unequivocally down, while fiber artist Michael Kensinger commented, “Oh, it’s dandy, it’s fine. A lot of my regular customers are back, a lot of the friendships over the years that I’ve developed here.” [Source]
