The Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair is one of three official partner fairs that comprise the award-winning and highly respected Ann Arbor Art Fair. Roughly 400,000 people attend the event each year. The Summer Art Fair is located on Main Street in the heart of Ann Arbor as well as Liberty and State Streets, stretching from its charming downtown to the campus of the University of Michigan. In 2021, it will also run on South University in the space previously used by Ann Arbor's South University Art Fair. It is run by The Guild of Artists & Artisans, a non-profit Artist Member Organization whose mission is to provide marketing opportunities to artists. It is the only show run by and for the artists.

With the dissolution of Ann Arbor's South University Area Association, The Guild was asked to extend the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair onto South University to Washtenaw. Former South University Fair artists who want to be on South University and did not rollover a deposit from the 2020 show, should apply to the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair and will be given the choice of location at time of contract. The Guild is honoring $100 booth deposits that were left by Artists to the South University Art Fair for the 2021 show.More information: https://www.theguild.org/
