About
The Guild of Artists & Artisans is a non-profit, membership association of independent artists founded in 1970 in Ann Arbor, Michigan. Its mission is to develop and present art fairs to provide marketing opportunities for its members which also serve as educational, cultural and entertaining events for the community. The Guild draws upon its talented, exclusive and diverse membership to exhibit and sell their work at these events. Each member artist is juried through The Guild’s rigorous standards process, which ensures exceptional creativity and technical skill.
At Guild fairs, fairgoers have the opportunity to interact directly with the artists. Guild artists welcome fairgoers to their booths, and are available to discuss everything from their techniques to their inspirations. Featured work includes jewelry, ceramics, painting, sculpture, glass, photography, fiber, wood, leather and more.
Presently, The Guild conducts six fairs each year: Royal Oak Market: Spring Art Fair, Art Birmingham, The Levis Commons Fine Art Fair, Common Ground’s Birmingham Street Art Fair, Royal Oak Market: Art Fair Edition and the world-renowned Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair – an event recognized for its unparalleled selection of talented artists and craftspeople.
