Art-A-Licious is really a local event that you won't want to miss. Last year I took part, along with a number of other very talented artists. If you were one of the people who did come, I am sure you will be back for more. There were over 20 artists (+/-) demonstrating throughout the week-end. I was working on a stained glass panel made up of melted glass coke bottles and other memorabilia. There was a glass blower, potters throwing on their wheels, painters painting, and more. The quality of artists and the ability to see so many actually working on their art right there in the streets of Adrian was a wonderful opportunity. I really do feel it will be something you will want to tell your friends about. Then, there was the food. A number of area restaurants brought samples of many of their best sellers. Not your fair food as usual. And music... The piece shown here is one I am donating to their auction. All of the artists were asked to bring post card size pieces for this purpose. So if you come, feel free to help support us by purchasing from one of the artists or bidding on any number of post card sized artworks. A link to the web site with more information is: www.visitlenawee.com/old/html/art-a-licious_2008.html . There will also be a Chair-ity auction. More on it later. For now, put September 19th and 20th on your calendar. Pass this on to your friends. Meet them there for a very fun week-end.9/4/08

Art A Licious was a blast! There were quite a few local artists exibiting. We are quite fortunate to have such a talent pool in Lenawee County!
ReplyDeleteJason, my 13year old, really didn't want to work on the mosaic manniquin Tara! Hmm...wonder why?
There was a chair there made from garden and shop gadgets. The chair, painted a bright vivid red gloss, its seat made from the comfortable curve of two pichforks, one for each side...was bid up to 200.00 when I last looked, wonder what it went for! Pat...did you??
The only thing that I was a little disappointed in was Taste of Lenawee participation. Some restaurants that had promised to come cancelled without even a notification call (on the second night)! Besides being a great advertising event for the restaurant, the proceeds help support the Arts...
Overall, great event!!
Last I saw the red industrial chair was up to $200. Not sure about the final bid. The pool of artists was wonderful! I was able to reconnect with several that I hadn't seen in quite a while. Pass the word... it's a great show. So be sure to come next year.
