mlive.comA4 looks back at the Ann Arbor Art Fair
ANN ARBOR The Ann Arbor Art Fair may have been canceled this year but that doesnt mean we cant celebrate its history and the thousands of people who take part in it every year. Made up of four different fairs collectively known as Art Fair, the annual extravaganza has been bringing art, artists, and art appreciators to Ann Arbor for decades as the largest juried art fair in the US. Last year, we talked to four Art Fair couples about how they met and the best aspects of working together. We learned about the jury selection processes for the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, The Original. The proceeds were donated to the four nonprofits that organize Art Fair every year.
