The State Street Area Art Fair will be celebrating its 37th year this July. The event is nationally renowned and is highly ranked as one of the best shows in the country. The State Street Area Art Fair features the works of 317 local and national artists. Look for a strong visual show combining contemporary and traditional art in 14 different categories including glass, painting, ceramics, photography, fiber, wood and more. A full listing of participants and their work is featured on the website, along with other fair information.

July 21-24, 2004 will be the dates for yet another year highlighting many new artists and vibrant displays. This fair is a strictly juried exhibition maintaining strong community roots. The State Street Area Association, which includes members from area businesses, sponsors this annual event. A nine-panel jury made up of practicing artists and other arts professionals has the task of screening prospective artists, looking for fresh and innovative approaches as well as stunning traditional examples of fine arts and crafts.

The location of our exhibitors is centrally located in the heart of Ann Arbor's downtown area. The booths can be found along N. University, Liberty, Maynard, Thompson and William streets. The art fair is also host to the Ann Arbor Fiber Arts Guild showcased at the intersection of State and N. University. Twenty-three area artists exhibit their work here in a double booth. Along this same intersection can be found an outdoor shoppers bazaar created by all the participating merchants in the area, lots of sales and restaurants expand onto the street.

Our main information booth is located at State and Liberty. Volunteers from the Ann Arbor Art Center staff it. Pick up a free guide there with artist listings, maps, shuttle guides and schedules of music events. Drop off your name and address if you are interested in exhibiting in next year's fair. Also for sale are commemorative T-shirts, bags, posters, and more at the merchandise tent on State at William. Two other information booths also offer guides and items for sale. A booth is located at Maynard near Jefferson and another at Liberty and Division which is staffed by the Huron High School Rowing Team who also assist in set-up, daily cleaning and take-down for the event.

For more current information on all the activities surrounding the fair view the Ann Arbor Convention and Visitors Bureau website at www.annarbor.org.

As always, this year's State Street Area Art Fair is distinguished by it's commitment to high quality and the addition of new and innovative artists. The standards set for acceptance to the show are demanding and the artist's work reflects the dedication to excellence and quality. With a representation from 41 states, the fair offers a variety of appeal to all fair-goers.
