Ann Arbor’s South University Art Fair - Where the past meets the future

July 21 -24, 2010

Since the first Fair appeared on South University in 1960 many things have changed and yet so much remains the same.   The idea for an Art Fair, first proposed by Bruce Henry, owner of Artisan’s Gallery on South University, now has a life of its own, drawing over 500,000 enthusiastic patrons every year.

One hundred and eighty five nationally renowned artists participate on the streets of the South U area, each July. Cutting edge creations blend with traditional styles, and local and international artists combine to bring you the unmistakable flavor which epitomizes the youngest of the Ann Arbor Art Fairs. Great ethnic restaurants, hip and quirky stores plus plenty of easy access parking at the Forest Parking Deck make South U. the best possible starting place for your Art Fair adventure.
