What the Glass Roots Arts Festival lacked in crowd size yesterday, it made up in heart, with an intimate setting that belied the size of the area (Court D, between 11th and 13th streets) and the wide range of activity that took place there.
I was most impressed with the 2FtCrew’s work on the Embellish building â€" not quite so purple anymore! â€" and the musical stylings on the stage â€" not so loud as to overpower the conversations, but nice to listen to.
It actually worked out as the perfect all-family event, and I was happy to see Volcano scribe Angela Jossy and her not so little kid on stage, Trish Lecy-Davis’ daughter and her entourage, as well as Lisa and Abby McDermott, book lovers about the town. Of course it was also fun to see my Hogbot friends and Tim Kapler, as well as a few of the usual art-festival suspects (Hey Houston, Hey Ann!), but then it was cool also to see faces I didn’t have names for, with pugs and babies in backpacks.
I like perusing the booths, ranging in wares from cultural art to spray-can canvases, glass ware from Tacoma Glassblowing, jewelry, and even metal art as décor.
Fun community, fun festival! â€" Jessica Corey-Butler
