ANN ARBOR – We’re about four weeks away from Art Fair -- yes, four weeks.
After the fair’s organizers reversed their decision to cancel due to lifted COVID restrictions, they found themselves in a race against time to plan the largest juried art fair in the nation.

Sure, this year’s fair will run three days instead of its typical four, but it’s still a massive event to pull off.
Want to get involved? Two of the three fairs are currently searching for staff and volunteers to help ensure things run smoothly July 15-17.
Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair
The Guild, which runs the Summer Art Fair portion of the event, is now hiring for a full-time Event Operations Manager. The organization hosts several art fairs each year throughout Southeast Michigan and Ohio.
For the first time ever, The Guild will be taking over the South University section of the event after the South University Area Association dissolved in December.
