Testimonials:

 

"2017 marked our second year at the Ann Arbor Art Fair and we again chose a spot with the Guild as part of the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair section - it never disappoints! For us there is no better spot to be than on Main Street with its steady foot traffic making us easy to find for current customers and right in the middle of everything to be discovered by new customers. It's a show we will never miss, the best of the best." Kaitlyn Lawless


"2017 was the first time I participated in the Ann Arbor Art Fair. I had an awesome corner tent on Main Street as part of the Guild's Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair. Not only did I find that the fair was extremely well-organized with amazing artist support from the Guild, but I also sold more work than I could have imagined. Best of all, the work I sold was my larger, more expensive pieces. Totally great experience overall!" Lisa Farris

"2017 was our first year in the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair. 

 

We had a great show, and we're so happy we made the change to join the Summer Art Fair. Our booth was in a great location in close proximity to high quality work, the show staff was helpful, and everything ran very smoothly." Sarah Gelsanliter
