Local groups bring'
music to the art fair
(Continuedfrom Page 6)
opening spot at noon on Wednesday.
Usually, more acts express interest
in performing than can be accom-
modated, even though most groups
donate their time, according to Bartolo.
"We have the advantage of being selec-
tive," she said. I
MUSICAL STYLE also plays a part
in deciding the order in which the
groups appear, Bartolo said. "We don't
get real loud until the evening," she
said. "Then we get into be-bop, swing,
experimental music ..."
The evening shows on the steps of the
Union were organized by Eclipse Jazz,
a student-run, non-profit organization
which has been presenting jazz on
campus for the last six years.
"We tried to choose acts we though
were good and that were local," ex-
plained Eclipse Co-ordinator Peter
Pretsfelder. The Eclipse shows, Pret-
sfelder said, provide an excellent op-
portunity for those local bands that
usually don't receive much exposure.
One-out-of-town group, however, that
will be performing, is Big Money, a
rock group from West Virginia. One
member, according to Pretsfelder, is
also an exhibitor in the Summer Arts
Festival.
There is no problem attracting an
audience, Pretsfelder explained. "Last
year we had more people than we've
ever had before," he said, adding that
the crowd overflowed down State Street
and onto to lawn of the art museum.
"We get more people than we expect
and know what to do with."
Many of the local bars and clubs also
offer special musical attractions during
the fair. For the third year, Rick's
American Cafe will provide outdoor en-
tertainment with a stage on Church
Street. Rick's will feature a number of
local favorites including I-tal, the Ur-
bations, and the Flexibles.

"The art itself makes the show dif-
ferent each year, not a new gimmick,"
Brunvand explained. "The artists
make the change. They give it the look
each year . . . They give it the new
flavor."
The fair is sponsored by the South
University Merchants in conjunction
with the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair Inc.,
a non-profit organization which helps
coordinate the event each year.
TIlE ARTISTS must pay a charge for
their booth to cover the cost of leasing
the sidewalks and streets, according to
Terry Chase, president-elect of the
Street Art Fair Committee.
In addition to the art booths, the Ann
Arbor YMCA has organized a
Children's Activities Booth which will
be located on South University, bet-
ween South Forest and Church Streets.
The booth will be open from 10 a.m. to
noon, 2 to 4 p.m., and 6 to 8 p.m., Wed-
nesday through Friday, and 10 a.m. to
noon and 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday.
There is no charge for the booth
which is open to children between the
ages of four and 10. Children under four
must be accompanied by anadult.
An information booth, located at the
corner of South and East University
and open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., Wed-
nesday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 5
p.m. on Saturday, will also be
available.

at Megaframes
on North Main Street across
from the old Post Office. They
had plenty of parking behind the
store and a convenient rear
entrance."
