KIDS ART FAIR  

In cooperation with Toyota and the Ann Arbor District Library, the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair presents the Kids’ Art Fair, giving selected young artists the opportunity to exhibit and sell their artwork at the Townie Street Party just like other Art Fair artists! The Kids’ Art Fair encourages talented young artists ages 6-14 to continue to make art and to look towards careers in art, as well as encouraging young people to appreciate, buy and collect art.

Be sure to check out these awesome young artists at 2009 Kids Art Fair; click here to see the full list of participants!
