This past weekend Rochester held it's annual Park Ave Arts Festival. Park Avenue was lined with arts vendors, food stands, musical acts, and other festival offerings. This year we also noticed a large number of corporate sponsors and booths that seemed to threaten the artistic nature of the festival. Nevertheless the festival drew large crowds and we hope that artisans made a decent profit.Artists that caught our attention: Al Hubbard whose colorful jazz influenced acrylics made a seriously bold statement. Donald Lo whose photographs of Asian landscapes were so beautiful they looked surreal. We made one purchase- some Egyptian musk and "dat thing" incense from Mutayyiboon. This vendor had a wealthy offering of incense, oils, pure shea butter, and black soap. We tried a sample of their shea butter on our hands and it truly was a decadent moisturizer. Will definitely purchase some in the near future.
