Anastasia Roumanis.
Across the street, the Brown Jug was
operating a beer and wine concession
stand. "People are buying lots of
drinks. I think the fact that it's not
super hot and people are still buying
drinks is significant," said the Brown
Jug employee at the stand.
Not every Art Fair exhibitor was
faring well. Daniel Edler, a blown-glass
sculptor from Illinois, said sales were
going slowly for him. "A lot of people
think the stuff is really pretty, but it's
just a little bit above the pocketbook for
most ofthem," explained Edler.
"There haven't been many people
coming up to us," said a volunteer for
the S.O.S. Community Crisis Center
who was passing out free literature.
"Most of the people we talk to ask us
where they can find more exhibits.
They are here just to see the art."
