Comments
An educated guess would say that the hardest to get into would be the AA Street Art Fair, the original. Then maybe S. University. I think you'd stand a very good chance of getting into the State Street Show or the one above, The Guild sponsored Summer Art Fair.
I'm new and was considering Ann Arbor. I'm originally from the area and attended many years ago as a consumer but was wondering which one of the three would be the best choice or if applying to all three and if fortunate enough to get accepted choose one. Any guidance is appreciated. Thanks in advance. PS) mixed media - wall and free standing
