or jugglers.
I believe the application said something like no mimes or jugglers, can’t remember.
On another note, I believe the artists are getting paid a small stipend but are not allowed to busk. And that there is a no busking law in COD? A no busking law would explain our general lack of fun performance art. For instance Larkin, who lives in COD, has to trek to other ‘hoods to do her thing. Our loss.
And on a random but related note, here’s a brilliant TED talk by Amanda Palmer on the art of asking for help.

For all questions related to art, ask the Art King.

The Art King can answer your question very easily. It’s the Art King who defines what great art is. He says Joshua Bell playing music in the subway is great art.

Joshua Bell riding the subway to work is also great art.

The fellow with eczema riding next to Joshua Bell on the subway to work is great art by association.

Also on Saturday, The Decatur Visitor Center (113 Clairemont) is holding a grand opening celebration. If you haven’t stopped by yet, or even if you have, you should check it out. The space has been wonderfully renovated and they are currently showing some of Ruth Franklin’s work on the inside. I’ve been volunteering there a little bit and you would be amazed at the people who stop by for information about our little burg.
Anyway the ribbon cutting is at 11:00 a.m. and the festivities are from ten to six o’clock. Refreshments all day from some of Decatur’s finest food and beverage purveyors. You can easily combine your visit with Sidewalk Saturday.

Foo. No mimes.
