From the historical passage of climate change legislation in the U.S. to launching New York City’s first Vehicle-to-Grid initiative, to enjoying the great outdoors of Northeastern Ohio at the Levis Commons Fine Art Fair and celebrating National Thrift Store day, it was another busy week telling our client’s stories. Here are a few media clips from the past week.
With a few big announcements this week in California between the Department of Energy and Fermata Energy Energy, in addition to stories mentioning LanzaTech in CNN, Forbes (Japan), and C&EN, Business Insider, not to mention a major event for the Guild of Artists & Artisans over Mother’s Day weekend and an op-ed I penned for The Detroit News about mental health, it is all here in our media clips from the past week
The Guild of Artists & Artisans (The Guild) is proud to announce its 2022 Fine Art Fair & Gutman Gallery Exhibition Schedules. For more than fifty years The Guild has been helping raise community awareness, understanding, and appreciation of the visual arts while maintaining a support network for artists. With a total of six Art Fairs, The Guild is delighted to continue to bring fun and educational events to five cities across Southeast Michigan and into Ohio. Each fair brings a unique group of artists and has various opportunities to purchase art, interact with artists and art activities, enjoy live entertainment and a selection of food vendors.
Another week comes to an end and with the help of our partners and journalists, we were able to share our client’s stories by making them relevant to the news cycle and to news that people find valuable. Here is just a sample of news we generated this week in publications from New Zealand to Spain and back to the United States.
he Guild of Artists & Artisans is a non-profit, membership organization of professional artists that produces six art events throughout the year, including the award-winning Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair. Each event is a juried event, representing a diverse array of fine art mediums, with ceramics, painting, photography, glass, jewelry, sculpture, mixed media, drawing, printmaking and more. Entertainment and great food options at each of these fairs make them extra enjoyable and exciting events.

Traditions are important in Michigan and some will even tell you that traditions began in Ann Arbor. In fact, every July for the 1,100 artists from all over the world make it their affair to submit their artwork to a jury of their peers waiting for the honor and privilege of exhibiting in The Ann Arbor Art Fair. The Ann Arbor Art Fair is not just one fair, it is four major art fairs in one big event.
For four days, from July 17-20, 2013, art collectors, people watchers and those that just enjoy being a part of tradition, come to Ann Arbor, to walk the 30 city blocks of pop-up retail before these artisans pack up their crafts and move on to other locations. It is the time of year when friends meet up and where parents take a day off of work to spend it with their children.
Every year brings new artists and brand new art. Whether it is experimenting with a new medium, from mix media to digital media, from wood to metal, jewelry to fiber and fabric, The Ann Arbor Art Fair has something for everyone, making it one of the top art fairs in the Nation.
Every artist has a story to tell and in Ann Arbor, you will have the chance to hear their stories and then the opportunity to re-tell it when you share their art with friends and family.
For example, talk celebrities such as Barbara Lazaroff or Dustin Hoffman and they will tell you about their private collection of works by Sondra Wampler, a California surfer turn photographic artist, whose works also appear in the corporate collections of the Four Seasons, Scottsdale Quarter, Kaiser Permanente and others.
Speaking of celebrities, have you soon artist Ayala Naphtali’s works on NBC’s Parenthood or how about the works of Armando Pedroso on Chicago Fire or Cougar Town.
Or how about Darrin Hoover who was always known as “the kid that could draw,” is now an artist with unique style of aging new wood to create something we can all connect too.
So this July, come to Ann Arbor to celebrate, collaborate and create with our artists. 1,100 artists, over 30 city blocks, from 38 states and four countries, in four individual art fairs, but one event, for the 54th Annual Ann Arbor Art Fair, July 17-20, 2013. Each one has a story to tell and it is your opportunity to develop new relationships, build on old ones and enjoy a right of summer, one of Michigan’s best traditions and an event that is Pure Michigan.
