Brown supports her three children with pottery sales and travels to ten to 12 similar festivals per year. "The Ann Arbor Art Fair is absolutely the most impressive," she said, and it brings together "the most informed crowds." University Art School graduate student Carol Johnson agreed that "Ann Arbor is an artistic community, so the people who come to the fair are a little more aware." Johnson, who paints, and would like to teach art, noted the trend toward crafts, as op- posed to arts, which results from the fact that more utilitarian products are more marketable. Johnson said because of this em- phasis on crafts and the modest finan- cial gains for the Art Fair painter, "I've had comments from other painters IWN!VEI! fMUSICALG8oCIETY announces The 10th Season This gala 1978.79 season marks the 100th year the Musical Society has offered concerts on the campus of the University of Michigan.

April 9 who've said, 'What are you doing in an art fair? You're too good for that."' She responds be telling them it's a good chance to have her work seen by many people and to participate in the festiye atmosphere. Joe Hippler, a full-time craftsman, set up his booth at the fair not only to sell his completed woodwork but to meet customer who might make customized orders. His furniture is limited to "a few unique pieces" at the fair, since he concentrates on conver- sation, not a sales pitch. Hippler, however, was the only artist contacted who admitted to any bartering or haggling over prices with customers and even then Hippler would only allow himself to be talked down "maybe on Saturday (the last day) evening." Nancy Abbott can remember par- ticipating in the fair when it was called the Free Art Fair. Seven years ago "it was very casual, we sort of set up where we wanted to and the University let us use free tables and chairs." The Ypilanti resident said that more people buy her batiks here than at other fairs because of the good reputation of the fair and the fact that customers have traveled some distance and want to have something to show for it. "A lot of people save up with 'the idea of buying Christmas presents," according to Abbott. Most of the artists reported that they don't make special works of art or par- ticularly unusual craft items for the Ann Arbor crowd, and that they just have to concentrate on having enough to sell. The artists come with varying ex- perience and dedication to the cultivation of their talents. Money is clearly the major motivating factor for the more professional of the artists- one potter is said to have earned 80 per cent of his annual earnings during last year's fair. Some feel that the fair is en- tirely too commercial, but most seem to agree that the sprawling Ann Arbor Art Fair is one of the biggest, most energetic projects of its kind in the country.
