AmericaJR’s Jason Rzucidlo was LIVE at the University of Michigan central campus for the 2016 Ann Arbor Art Fair. For the first time since its inception, this year’s art fair runs from Thursday-Sunday instead of its traditional Wednesday-Saturday schedule. The four separate, juried art fairs make up one of the largest outdoor art fairs in the United States. In this gallery, look for photos of multiple artists from each of the four fairs: The Original Street Art Fair, The Summer Art Fair, The State Street Art Fair and the South University Art Fair. You’ll also see performances by musicians on the three stages throughout the festival.
