Last Saturday, July 13, the second Saturday of the month, I was once again in downtown Gahanna, Ohio,
 | ...hawking my photographs, |
...at the Gahanna Area Arts Council's Second Saturdays Arts in the Alley monthly summer art fair.
Though at previous Arts in the Alleys I've always snagged my own spot,
| ...from which to sell my books, |  |
 | ...or photos, |
...this time I invited a friend and fellow creative to share my tent, a seamstress who makes the most beautiful and finely-detailed clothes for 18" American Girl-style dolls.
| Thanks to the enthusiastic young organizers of the Gahanna Area Arts Council, |  |
...our town's monthly summer Arts in the Alleys - formerly First Fridays, now Second Saturdays - always include a special feature of artistic whimsy, such as this giant rubber duck that was conceived by a Danish artist and floated across the rivers of Europe to emphasize that we are all connected,
...or a parade of fanciful soft sculptures made by young art students,
...or performing trapeze artists.
This time the arty surprise was a delightful invasion of balloon creatures.
Manned - and womaned - by the intrepid young Gahanna Area Arts Council volunteers, a unicorn, giraffe, and three flamingos rambled among the booths and people,
...to the delight of everyone.
It was definitely art for the young at heart.
