A Goldberg necklace
crafted of ethical
water buffalo horn

lecting semi-precious stones, antique
ivory, buffalo horn, glass, pottery, resin
and faience beads. All ivory and bone
[materials] used in the jewelry are cer-
tified antique. No animals are harmed
in the creation of the one-of-a-kind
designs.”
Goldberg, who learned beading
from her mother and studied at
Stephens College in Missouri, says
she has a commitment to bringing
the latest trends in American jewelry
to a broader audience by making
each necklace affordable. Her pro-
cess involves using a jewelry saw and
applying lacquer before putting the
pieces together.
Narozny doubles down on mak-
ing sure that each item in her fairs is
original and handmade by the artist
offering it. She strictly enforces rules
to prevent buy/sell/import pieces.
“The number of our guests each
year ranges between 5,000 and 15,000,
and about 60 percent of our artists
are new to the show,” Narozny says.
“Jewelry and fiber always are the most
popular sellers.
“I think the high quality of the pro-
fessional art and our commitment to
bringing art education into the com-
munity distinguishes this art fair from
others.”
Professional artists are eligible for

monetary awards totaling $2,500;
categories are Best of Show,
Awards of Merit and Awards
of Excellence. The Youth Art
Competition is for youngsters
between the ages of 5 and 13;
they submit art for a total of $250
in cash awards, and all entries are
displayed over the entire week-
end.
To help provide the awards
and learning opportunities,
Narzony established the non-
profit Institute for the Arts &
Education, supported as part of
the $5 admission fee for the event.
This year will be the first that a
professional artist, Amy Ferguson
of Auburn Hills, appeared earlier
as a student devoted to drawing
skills.
Visitors who want to watch
the award ceremonies can
join the prize patrol at 3 p.m.
Saturday, when Steven Kaplan, West
Bloomfield Township supervisor, will
help call attention to the professional
achievements. Student awards will be
presented at 3 p.m. Sunday.
“I personally give a presentation
at the awards ceremony on Sunday,”
says Narozny, who thinks back to her
days as a young artist. “I explain that
presenting at art shows for a living is a
perfect entrepreneurship opportunity
for people who want to do that. To
date, we’ve exposed more than 1,400
students to working at art shows.”
Narozny, who worked at Tastefest
for eight years, has arranged for
popular food vendors to serve visi-
tors: Noodles from Novi, Yardbirds
from Keego Harbor; Iridescence from
MotorCity Casino in Detroit and
Simply Gourmand Cheesecake from
Dryden.
“We have a Relaxation Station
tent decorated with flowers and set
up with tables and a handwashing
station,” says Narozny, who also has
scheduled different musical entertain-
ment for each day. Soft Caribbean
music by the One Love Reggae Band
will be featured Saturday; light jazz
by the Sheila Landis Trio has been
arranged for Sunday.
“What’s really new this year is our
location,” Narozny says. “Due to the
construction on Orchard Lake Road
just south of Maple, we had to make
the change. I love the new location
because it has high visibility from
Orchard Lake Road, and there’s plenty
of free patron parking adjacent to the
show.” •
