The Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, The Original (AASAF), is the original art fair of the three concurrent fairs that annually transform central Ann Arbor into the largest juried outdoor art fair in the nation. Every July, the City of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan Campus blossom into a 30-block outdoor art gallery. Established in 1960, the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair is a 501(c)(3) non-profit arts organization with a mission to enrich lives by connecting art, artists, and our communities.
The AASAF is renowned for its 67-year history with a commitment to excellence and showcasing only original one of a kind artwork. AASAF unfolds along the picturesque Ann Arbor city streets surrounding the iconic Burton Bell Tower and the tree-lined heart of the University of Michigan's central campus. The Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, The Original is regularly ranked among the nation’s top art fairs, consistently placing in the “Top Ten Best Art Festivals” in USA TODAY and appearing annually in Sunshine Artist's "Top 200 Fine Art Shows."
