FestiFools 2011

The fools of Ann Arbor were dancing through downtown today as the annual parade of giant puppets and kinetic sculptures known as FestiFools hit Main Street. FestiFools was birthed from creative director Mark Tucker’s “Art in Public Spaces” class at the University of Michigan in 2006. Since then, the parade has blossomed into a full-blown public art extravaganza.

  2. Thanks. Myra! Which two fools would that be?

    And did you get some good shots out there?

  3. The two labeled "Fool." ;)

    I plan to post my shots tomorrow.

    I love that when photographers shoot the same event, each one captures a very unique perspective.

  5. Ryan, nice work. We are Eugene, the dignified bald puppet with black framed glasses. Mind if I borrow a copy? We came 3 1/2 hours to join in the Foolishness and hope to be back next year.
