Jacobi, whose interest in Jewish art and
artists came after the years she attended
services with a small congregation in
Pontiac.
"We will have one artist, Ami
Goldfarb of New Jersey, who designs
Judaica, framed batik pieces with
Hebrew sayings. Two of the Jewish
artists are Sara Frank, who does tiles and
pottery, and Debra Metier, who makes
one-of-a-kind jackets from recycled
clothing."
Networking
Jacobi, in her 50s, thinks of her job as a
marketer and promoter who wants to
appeal to people of all ages and back-
grounds. She started putting fairs
together in 1991 while operating a store
in Ferndale to sell collectibles.
"I knew we needed some attraction to
bring customers into our area, so I
approached people in city administra-
tion with the idea of having an art fair,"
recalls Jacobi, who networked with
many contacts in the arts and entertain-
ment fields to find people to be featured
at the event. "In the second year, we
formed the Ferndale Arts Council so we
could expand what we were doing, and I
stayed with it for five years."
After her experience in Ferndale,
where the fair became a volunteer proj-
ect as she solicited work from artists,
Jacobi asked Oak Park to hire her to
plan that city's annual fair, since discon-
tinued. Knowing what visitors found
most interesting in Ferndale, she sought
out comparable activities for Oak Park.
Jacobi, now an office manager, had
retailing experience to bring to fair oper-
ations. As a teen living in Bloomfield
Township, she started working in cloth-
ing stores and went on to study retailing
at Northwood University in Midland.
As she moved to different cities around
the state, she sold electronics and jewel-
ry.
Jacobi, a Ferndale resident married to
Warren art teacher Richard Jacobi,
attended the Huntington Woods fair a
number of times before being asked to
manage it and the Woods Gallery at the
city library.
To keep variety in this year's event,
Jacobi has scheduled Debra Adamcik,
who does caricatures; Mary Ortwine,
who makes teddy bears from recycled
fur; and Apryl Lea, who designs whimsi-
cal metal garden pieces. Her choices for
entertainment include Sheila Landis,
who performs jazz with her trio; Doug
Deming and the Jewel Tones, who play
the blues; Tumbao musicians, who spe-
cialize in Latin beats; and Joe Weaver
and the Rhythm Rockers, who bring
back R&B-.
"Huntington Woods is a welcoming,
artsy community, and I think the
Huntington Woods fair has a homey,
family feel," says Jacobi, whose volunteer
projects include working behind the
scenes on a cable TV show, Seranatas
Latinas, which features Spanish enter-
tainers from around the country and airs
at 9 p.m. Saturdays on Huntington
Woods and Berkley cable stations.
"The people involved with Art in the
Woods, including the volunteers, just
seem to pull together, and they give the
event a friendly, family-oriented feeling.
The surroundings, especially the church
grounds and the big shady trees, add to
all that.
"I always find unusual things to put in
my home and to use as gifts when I
attend these fairs, and I'm looking for-
ward to doing that at our upcoming
event." ❑
