While the summer in Ann Arbor - is usually calm and uncrowded, the city is transformed for four days in late July. The streets teem with more than 500,000 people who come from all over the nation to see the exhibitions by more than 1,000 artists during the Ann Arbor Art Fairs. Replacing the tepid, slow mood is a feeling of excitement as booths are erected during the early morn- ing, restaurants and shops move their merchandise into the streets, and families replace students on the Diag for a picnic or an afternoon snooze. Many students who spend summers away from the stress of school return for the exhibits, par- ties and excitement. Cameras click, adults browse while children play. and exhibitors smile as their art is appreciated or - better yet - pur- chased by admirers. Of course there are some down- sides. Parking is impossible, and cars of often ticketed or even towed. Individuals who love the peace of Ann Arbor summers flee the city. Garbage from vendors abounds for four days until the end of the fairs. But the Ann Arbor Art Fairs are an important part of the city's econ- omy and reputation for being an leading cultural community. Although usually thought of as one fair, there are actually three sep- arate fairs: The Ann Arbor Street Fair on South University, East University and Church street; the State Street Area Art Fair on Liberty, Maynard, Thompson, Williams and North University; and the Summer Art Fair on Main Street. While there is some compe- tition between fairs, it is minor and unfelt by observers. Because of mild weather, large crowds and good business, the art fairs were regarded as a success by many this year. "This is the biggest show in the country and probably the most famous," said Texan Charlene Sainsott, wife of jewelry exhibitor Craig Sainsott. "It's defi- nitely the best." o"i'SERVICE tu ns w AND \s REPAIR Michigan's Largest 209 N. 4th Ave. 663-16 - Open Mon.-Sat. 1 0-6to . . 4 : ti". " 5. (R p. ~ ,.. M 4 l.. ..
