A2: Art Fairs

By

Vicki Briganti – a writer/producer for WWJ-TV, the CBS affiliate in Detroit – writes about her experiences working at the 1993 Ann Arbor art fairs for the Michigan Guild: “I must have walked at least 20 miles each day of the fair. We were blessed with beautiful, dry weather that summer. On the Tuesday the week of the fair, our team measured booth space and chalked the streets. As an Art Fair Street Manager, your role is to solve problems and supervise the volunteers in the information booth. Questions range from the mundane: ‘Where are the bathrooms?’ to the vague: ‘Where’s the booth with the guy who makes ducks?’ to the scary: ‘Can you help me find my child?’” [Source]
