This year, the Ann Arbor Street Art Fair moved from its historical location along South University Avenue to the area around Burton Tower. About 1,170 artists exhibited their works in the four official art fairs, up from 900 last year. The art fairs kicked off with some of the nicest weather of the summer, leading to huge crowds on campus and in the downtown streets.
