PURVEYOR OF THE WORLD'S FNSTU INES
City summer doldrums chased
to make way for street art fair
(Continued from page 9)
fire building housing the Cen-
ter for African and African-
American Studies at 715 Haven
Street, Ann Arbor. has been cov-
ered with this fantastic mural,
painted, constructed and re-
searched by Black Art Students
under the direction of Jon Lock-
ard at the University of Michi-
gan.
The unveilinsg and dedication
scheduled for today at 2. will
include speakers and entertain-
ers. Many celebrities of Nation-
al reputation have committed
themselves to appear - politi-
cians, athletes, artists, dancers
and a host of others. The event
promises to be a gaal affair. It
is outdoors, free and open to
the public.
By 1966, the fair had grown
to over 301 artists and the oro-
ganizers decided that "rather
than letting the fair wriggle like
a caterpillar from S. University
down to Main St." they would
freeze tthe fair at that size whict1
they felt. could be covered by a
spectator durinig tite course of a
day. An accepting committee
was set up to jury applicants on
te criteriot of quality
Tils yt at tho comtitittee
looked at several thousand
slides over a period of two
months to s'lrct 127 new ar-
tists from 365 applicants. The
aitists on thr street are juried
during the fair by the commit-
tee and also by other Suetem,
Fair artiss vho 'sork in the
same inedtinm. 'ithse exhibitors
slitose cork is tl, to measo"'
tip ne a'itomtn cirity itvted
back to thelfii Others are
asked to reapply and still oth-
ers are asked not to return.
This policy has ledrto some bit-
terness in the town because it
has resulted in the exclusion of
local artists in favor of artistt
from out of town and out of
state. The organizers defend
their policy ott the grounds that
they don't want the fair to be-
come 'inbred', that they want
to bring something new into
the local art scene. Either only,
or fully (depending on yoW
viewpointi a third of the ar-
tists this year will be from Ann
Arbor, the rest coming from 15
other states and Canada. It is
true that there are local artists
ssho are as good as the ones
cho arrive hore from out ot
townt, but it is nlot st~iays ?Eesi
that the visiting artists provie
some of the best work in th
fair and also do provide lhins
that Ann Arbor does not.
Partially in an attempt to
give local artists a chance to
sell their vork. and also as a
result of th" suress of t'
