The Ann Arbor Art Fairs
Thursday to Saturday 10am-8pm & Sunday 10pm-6pm - new hours
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 ride the shuttle to the fairs. Or you can arrive early and use one of the many 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.

200 Artists On North University, East
Washington and Ingalls Mall

Hi Mark, The asterisk* indicates that I have checked the show dates for that show. If there is no asterisk then that lets me know I need to update that show. I usually have a notice alerting people that beyond the notice that there are shows beyond that point that need to be updated and you can easily see which shows have been updated by looking for the asterisk.
Posted by: Jacki Bils | May 24, 2019 at 09:34 PM
What is the significance of the asterisk '*' on some show dates?
e.g. July 27 & 28* West Bloomfield
versus no asterisk
e.g. July 29 & 30 Commerce Township

Hello Michelle, Thank you for the Troy Festival of Art and Craft dates. I have updated the show. Thanks for sending them in to us.
Posted by: Jacki Bils | September 19, 2018 at 11:38 AM
Can you please change the date for the Festival Art and Craft show in Troy, MI? The information for 2018 should be December 8, and it is the 28th show.

Hello Kris, Yes, we don't have the Milford Memories on our calendar this year.

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.
Posted by: Jacki Bils | June 20, 2017 at 04:50 PM
Please change the link for the Royal Oak Outdoor Art Fair (July 8 & 9) from royaloakarts.com/artfair.html to royaloakarts.com/art-fair
The current link is hitting an old cached version of the site.
Thanks!

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.
Posted by: Jacki Bils | April 08, 2016 at 09:42 AM
Please note the dates listed for Milford Memories in August are incorrect

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.
