Temporary workers will be needed for shifts between July 19-22 in order to help set up and tear down the art fair.

The Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair has been operating since 1970. It absorbed the former South University Art Fair in 2021 and now takes over Main, Liberty, State, and South University streets.

Around 400,000 visitors flood Tree Town in order to attend the event.

Here’s which positions need to be filled:

  • Art Fair Street Manager
  • Barricade Attendee
  • Rover
  • Merchandise Booth Manager
  • Merchandise Booth Staff
  • Sanitation Crew

Workers will be paid between $14-$15 per hour.

Those interested can email mary@theguild.org or find applications and details here.

If you’re looking to volunteer, the Guild could use your help helping to put up or tear down art booths. Find those details here.
