Dally in the Alley

One advertisement poster for the first "Dally in the Alley" art/street fair which took place in an alley that was located in a city block bounded by 2nd, 3rd, Forest, and Hancock Streets. The poster is printed in black ink on heavyweight pale yellow paper. It shows a black sketch by Brian Taylor that depicts a trio of fashionably-dressed cats where one cat is playing a saxophone and the other two are dancing. Black printed text at the bottom of the poster gives additional information about the fair, the names of scheduled entertainment acts, a location map, and a list of participating organizations. The listed performers are Shadowfax, the Layabouts, Ra Ró, the Monster Slayers, and the Motor City Free Arts Group. Black printed text at the lower center edge of the poster reads "A North Cass Community Street Fair." The name of the poster designer, Gary Grimshaw,
is shown in small black text near the lower right corner.
