T
his year's art fair in Huntington
Woods will have some elements
of a health fair. That comes
about because of new food offerings and
one new activity.
The 13th annual Art in the Woods
Fine Art & Fine Craft Fair — besides
featuring the work of 80 fine artists, the
talents of many local performing artists
and the usual hot dogs and ice cream —
will serve up fajitas, fruit smoothies and
a massage station.
The new fare at the fair, scheduled
June 25-26 on the grounds of the
Huntington Woods Lutheran Church, is
the idea of Kathy Jacobi, in her second
year as coordinator of the event.
"When I started working on the fair
in 2004, I changed the layout and the
staging," explains Jacobi, who had the
idea for and organized the Ferndale
Street Fine Art Fair and Oak Park's Art

Huntington Woods Library and Woods Gallery present:
Over the Interstate. "I've had many posi-
tive comments from people who liked
the tables and chairs in front of the stage
so they could eat while enjoying the
entertainment.
"This year, I thought it would be fun
to give our guests new food options and
provide some relaxation for those carry-
ing around packages or just feeling tired
from their day-to-day responsibilities.
Touch Therapy Associates in Berkley,
one of the event sponsors, will be doing
the neck and back massages."
At the heart of the fair, a variety of
artists will be featured after being invited
by a five-person jury, working anony-
mously and representing different
aspects of the arts community. Those
selected will showcase paintings, photog-
raphy, clay, jewelry and other media.
Among those debuting with the event
will be Mary Fairman, who specializes in
painted furniture, and Tom Phelps, who
molds faces into his pottery designs.
"The selection of artists is based on
creativity, quality and balance," explains
