July 11, 2024 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Karen Delhey, Executive Director, Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair / Executive Director, The Guild of Artists & Artisans and Ashley Schafer, MSAA Executive Director. The Ann Arbor Art Fair, consisting of three separate but collaborative fairs, is a major event organized by nonprofits like the Main Street Area Association and the Guild of Artists and Artisans. Sponsored significantly by Eli Lilly, this support helps keep booth fees affordable for artists and covers rising costs such as security and marketing. The fair involves local restaurants, galleries, and retailers, expanding their presence onto the streets and incorporating sidewalk sales.
