By ADRIENNE LYONS Not just anyone can exhibit their works in the confusing conglomeration of booths and artists on the streets of Ann Arbor during the four-day art fair each summer. Although more than 1,000 craf- tspeople will display their works in the twentieth summer art fair, most of the artists had to undergo demanding jurying, or judging, by area artists and sponsors before being-invited to set up a booth. Two of the three art fairs have similar jurying procedures. Artists ap- plying for the first time to the Ann Ar- bor Street Art Fair and the State Street Art Fair are required to submit several slides of their work to the selection committee. THE COMMITTEES rank the slides on a scale of one to five. The highest ranking artists are asked to participate in the fair. The University Artists and Craf- tsmen Guild does not jury its 700 artists. Guild membership is the only requirement for an artist to exhibit in the Summer Arts Festival sponsored by the Guild, said associate director Helen Welford. Student members are accepted at any time into the Guild at a reduced fee, but "professional" artists must sign up on a waiting list to join the Guild. Most of the 700 Guild artists exhibiting this year are not students, Welford added. WHILE THE University Guild guarantees a space for returning exhibitors, artists in the other two fairs must earna booth for the next year. The Ann Arbor Street Art Fair has 300 exhibiting artists and 175 show in the State Street Art Fair. About 75 per cent Trotter House exhibit Afro-American artists from south- eastern Michigan will exhibit their work in Trotter House, a campus minority community center located at 1443 Washtenaw, during the art fair. Exhibits are planned to include drawings, paintings, ceramics, photography and sculpture. Hours are from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. July 26 and 27 and from noon to 4 p.m. on July 28. of the artists in each fair have been in- vited to return this year. The remaining openings are reserved for fair newcomers. The Acceptance Committee of the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair receives about 600 applications annually for the 40 to 60openings for new exhibitors. REPRESENTATIVES of each of the art fairs said they accept a variety of art and handicrafts, as long as the work is original. Coordinator of the State Street Art Fair John Schreer said, for in- stance, mass-produced items such as lithographs and reproduced art are frowned upon. Apparel is not accepted at the State Street fair. In selecting the various media, Schreer stressed that the acceptance committee attempts to "maintain a certain balance." He said the selectors look for equal numbers of exhibitors in each media. The Ann Arbor Street Art Fair's Ac- ceptance Committee is made up of four persons who vote and select juries of local artists who select exhibitors in each media according to their specialty. THE SELECTION process does not always work well, according to Olivia Bottum, coordinator of the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair. Sometimes artists don't know what types of slides to sub- mit, she explained. The slides are often too dark or too light, or the committee can't evaluate the work's actual size., Artists are judged by committee members and also by fellow artists in the fair before they are asked to return, Bottum said. The process of inviting artists back to the State Street Art Fair is similar ex- cept the exhibiting artists do not par- ticipate. "We have a selection commit- tee which goes around during the fair and determines who we'll invite back, Schreer said. Schreer said last year the State Street Art Fair asked artists to jury their colleagues at the fair, but he received so many complaints from the artists that the new policy was discontinued. Selectors of new artists for the State Street fair also presents problems. "It's been our experience that their (artists) slides aren't (the same as) what they bring," Schreer said. He cited an exam- ple of a macrame artist who submitted a slide of a wall-hanging, but displayed blankets at the fair.
