But Who Is Art?

By Jimmy Johnson


Let’s go to the arts festival! Everyone loves a good festival, right? Apparently. Have you noticed a certain proliferation in seasonal street carnivals? Everyone wants a piece of the action, with predictable results. There seem to be fewer juried events and more tented shopping malls that might generously be called flea markets. There are fewer arts and crafts for one to truly covet and more substandard tee shirts for one to quickly bypass. But I don’t mean to sound like a snob. I always appreciate a good reason to get out and mingle on a pretty day.

    Wondering about the times shown on the comments — it was 12:05 in NH when I posted that, but shows an hour earlier. Mississippi time?

    Or those Villagers who are retired have gone back to sleep. Jerry, how is the trip going? Has the weather warmed up out there? Did you bring enough warm clothes?

    Jackie, sad that your post disappeared. Are you doing all this on your phone? It’s easier to get everything right on a desktop computer, which I use (have no smartphone) or even a laptop I suppose. Great gardening photos you’ve put on Facebook!

    Charlotte, Jimmy put up a new retro cartoon about arts and crafts shows and some comments there. Thanks for compliments. My stone mason and his truck driver brother get a lot of credit.
