We think you're going to like this new event presented by the people who bring you the Summer Art Fair in Ann Arbor, the Guild of Artists and Artisans, an artist run organization.
It may sound new but it is a renewal of a popular event held some years back. The Board of the Guild thinks the time has come to host it again in a new and popular location.
The Guild's Holiday Art Fair will be the perfect opportunity for fairgoers to discover those unique gifts which will long be treasured by family and friends. To encourage fairgoer attendance there will be holiday season surprises, entertainment, children's activities and free parking.
The fair is conveniently located just east of US-23 providing easy access to shoppers from Oakland and Washtenaw counties. The convocation center is a well known destination in this community as it hosts a diverse array of events.
An indoor show at Holiday time? What's not to like?

Who we are ...
It all began in the spring of 1970 about ten years following the premiere of the original Ann Arbor Street Fair. A group of young artists from Ann Arbor began working on a separate art fair which would give emerging artists, craftspeople and art students 
a chance to "take to the streets." Calling it the Free Arts Festival, they set up on the University of Michigan's "Diag" on Central Campus.

Calling it the Free Arts Festival, they set up on the University of Michigan's "Diag" on Central Campus.With its success they realized the need for an artist membership organization and established The Guild to support the "free fair" and other artist opportunities.
Today the Guild of Artists & Artisans is recognized as one of the largest membership organizations of professional artists in North America.
Join us in November to continue the fun!
