NOTICE: We have observed an increase in fraudulent activity targeting our community. The Ann Arbor Art Fair, comprised of three concurrent fine art fairs, utilizes Zapplication for artist applications exclusively. Food vendors, sponsors, and other partners should liaise directly with authorized staff members from one of the three fairs, who can be reached through official email addresses, never generic or personal accounts (.com, etc.). If you have any doubts, please contact one of the three fairs directly and speak with a staff member. You can find the contact information for all three fairs on the official Ann Arbor Art Fair website at https://www.theannarborartfair.com/.

🎬 That's a wrap on 2025's Ann Arbor Art Fair! Though we closed down a few hours early to ensure that our artists and event staff were able to tear down safely, we had an incredible three days in downtown Ann Arbor full of art, music, and more.

❤️ We owe a huge thank you to our amazing sponsors and vendors, talented artists, dedicated staff and all the wonderful attendees who made this event so special. It wouldn’t be possible without you. Until next year!✨
