10 am to 9 pm
Sunday, 10 am to 6 pm
This enticing extravaganza of art is officially divided into four events, listed below. In addition to this, every square foot of outdoor space in this area has been sold to people who did not jury into these four events.
If there is something you have been hankering for, you can find it in Ann Arbor in July. People come from around the country and some shop all four days.
Customers here for the first time are awed by the quantity, the quality and the creativity and vow to return next year. Come to add to your art collection, come to see the best in contemporary art, come to start your collection. You will not be disappointed.
Parking:
The easiest way to avoid the traffic is to head to Briarwood Mall, on I-94, and take the shuttle to the fairs. Or you can arrive early. There are a lot of parking structures adjacent to the exhibit areas that are full by noon (or sooner). The evenings are also a great time to shop and the nearby parking is easier to find in the downtown.

Also, visit the Townie Street Party, Monday night before the Art Fair begins in the Original Fair grounds to thank Ann Arbor for its hospitality with music, youth art, food & more. More: www.towniestreetparty.com, www.artfair.org

Hello - Port Huron Michigan.

Hello Alan, Thanks for the show info. I try to make sure the dates are correct 6 months out from a show. If a show changes things they don't usually alert us to that. I will correct the info and I thank you for passing on the correct information to us.
Posted by: Jacki Bils | July 10, 2017 at 02:22 PM
I believe your Bay Harbor Art Fair days and times are wrong. The 28th and 29th are Friday and Saturday not Saturday and Sunday. Their website lists the times as 10 to 6 both days.
Posted by: Alan | July 08, 2017 at 02:44 PM
Hello James. Thanks for the info. Sometimes I discover that when I am looking for show dates. However, rarely do shows remember to let us know when they change their websites. I do appreciate you alerting me to this.

Hello Joell, and thanks so much for those dates. I have looked for the 2016 dates for that show but couldn't find them. That is why it hasn't been updated yet. I will fix those right now.
Thanks so much.

Hello Terrie, thanks for alerting us the the cancellation of the show in Garfield Park. We try very hard to keep our calendar as correct as possible. However, as for the other show, UICA's 26th Annual Holiday Artist's Market, it has last year's dates because the 2015 dates have not be posted yet on their website and they have not contacted us with those dates either. We can't update a show if we don't have the dates. I look for the up coming dates all I can but there is a limit to what I can do without help from the show. Eventually, those shows are removed from our calendar because of the amount of time it takes to hunt to find their new dates. In the future, if you see an asterisk * after the show's dates, that show has been updated to the best of our ability. Thanks for the info.
Posted by: Jacki Bils | July 18, 2015 at 06:33 PM
Garfield Park in Grand Rapids has been cancelled. And the UICA dates for December are last years.

However, we have a great website that does answer those questions. Please go check out www.Artfairinsiders.com. It is a free website for artists. On the site we have discussed many of those questions. www.artfairinsiders.com is a site that has helped many newbies learn what they need to know to be successful in the Art Fair business.
