IS HE A RESIDENT?
A LONG TIME RESIDENT GREW
UP IN THE DETROIT SCHOOLS.
Tati: LET'S TALK ABOUT
THE THEME WE WANT TO
CELEBRATE THE OLD BUT ALSO
BRING IN THE NEW.
HOW DOES THAT TRANSLATE INTO
ALL OF THE ARTWORK.
WELT FUN THING IS THAT
THE ART FAIR HAD BEEN A
GREAT ESTABLISHED EVENT IN
THE 70s AND 80s THEN AS THE
CITY HAD PROBLEMS SO DID THE
FAIR.
WE WERE ABLE TO BRING IT
BACK THREE YEARS AGO WHICH
IS SUCH A BLESSING.

RONS AND ALSO WE HAVE 15 AGE

TEENAGE ARTIST WHO ARE
REALLY COMPETENT ALREADY AND
WE WORK WITH THEM TO HELP
THEM DEVELOP THE SKILLS TO
MAKE A LIVING IN THE ARTS.
Chuck: YOU KNOW WHAT'S SO
BEAUTIFUL ABOUT THIS SO MANY
OF OUR CITIES HAVE GREAT ART
FAIRS.
BUT IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT
CELEBRATING THE OLD AND THE
NEW AND CELEBRATING ART THE
HOMES ARE EACH A WORK OF
HARD BECAUSE YOU'RE
SURROUNDED BY ART.
WHAT A WONDERFUL SEGUE INTO
WHAT YOU'RE DOING THIS IS
GREAT.
SO TELL US ABOUT SOME OF
YOUR PIECES.
YOU WILL SEE WE HAVE A
WHOLE LOT OF WEARABLE ART.
A COUPLE OF REASONS FOR
THAT.
ONE IS SOME OF THE BEST
COLLECT WITHORS HAVE FILLED
UP THOSE WALLS EVEN IN THE
BIG HOUSES SO THEY CAN
ALWAYS FIND SOMETHING TO
WEAR.
THESE PIECESES HERE ARE BY
SOME ARTISTS THAT ARE
REPRESENTED IN THE DAY GIFT
