ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- At the Ann Arbor Arts Fair, the concentration of booths and displays branched along the streets off Main were dedicated to gathering the most innovative art creators from both the local region and throughout the country.

Such highlights ranged from the essential mirror effect displays by Doug Durkee, of Burlington, Kentucky, that give the impression of eternal dotted light tunnels, to the dragon-adorned paintings rooted in Chinese tradition by Charlotte Fung Miller of Mukwonago, Wisconsin.

Bodily captivating pieces like Chris Maher's abstract interpretations of the body are illuminating in their themes, but the activist groups scattered down Liberty were also of note in their attraction of attention.

Among these are a group representing the Community Farm of Ann Arbor and the Rudolf Steiner Health Center (among others), seeking to make known the accomplishments of a lifestyle approach brought forth by Steiner.

The air was a cool breeze compared to the year prior, and the Ann Arbor Arbor Art Fair seemed more expansive in its street locations. Quite the welcome sign.
