It finally happened and it is official. The Ann Arbor Art Fairs are moving their dates in 2016. Instead of the Wed.-- Sat. schedule they've had "forever" in 2016 the fair will be held Thurs.-- Sunday! It's about time!
What was holding this up? A lot of it seems to have been the concern for parking for the churches in the show area. An arrangement has been made between the fairs and the churches for the show to open at noon on Sunday. Not ideal, right? But the Sunday shopping always does start late it seems and they'll swarm out of church and be in your booth. Here's hoping.
Max Clayton, director of the Summer Art Fair said
Everyone seemed to embrace the idea of Sunday," said Clayton. "The main question was, 'How come it took so long?' But this is a city where there's a lot of stuff going on, which is one reason we're so grateful to be in Ann Arbor. But we wanted to make sure all the stakeholders, and all our partners, were aware of what was going on, and consider the impact on them. That's why it took two years of serious conversation to make sure this could happen."
