Every year I take a moment to reflect & give thanks to everyone who made the possible 🧡2026 was no exception.

It’s an honor to be Executive Director of the , The Original & see how this city comes together for the arts & the three nonprofit fairs. Thank you to my fellow directors at & .

A HUGE thank you to my AMAZING staff, crew & volunteers! I am in awe of each of you! A special thank you to our Board of Directors for their year round support & to our Jury Advisory Board for shaping an incredible artist lineup.

Thank you to our Art Activity Zone (LullCo, The Be Creative Studio, clayncode + Michigan Robotics), our Demo Zone partner the , Fountain Stage musicians & , (47th year at the fair as a piano player!) & the team at Zingerman’s Culinary Arts Gallery (Zingerman's). Your talent made this fair special.

Gratitude to our 2026 Featured Artist, Matthew Cornell (), for capturing the fair’s spirit with this year’s poster, “The Original,” a tribute to art made once, by hand, to last.

Most importantly, a heartfelt thank you to our ARTISTS! From professional artists across the country to our emerging & youth artists, each of you made the 2026 fair magical. Can’t wait to see you in 2027!

Impact! Our race raised $10,000 for the Youth Art Fair & $100,000 in art supplies for 1,300+ Ann Arbor Public Schools art students. Thank you to everyone who made that possible!

This year also brought unique challenges of poor air quality from the Canadian wildfires, plus wind and storms. Thanks to the expert handling by the City of Ann Arbor عزوز511, we stayed open all three days. We gave artists the option to close their booths Thursday & part of Friday if best for them — 98% chose to stay open — as we wanted to be sensitive to the needs of artists who traveled so far to be with us. Thank you to City of Ann Arbor - Police Department and City of Ann Arbor Fire Dept for keeping us safe. Grateful for our partnership with Destination , the Ann Arbor DDA, and .

Thank you as always to our patrons and fair-goers. Here’s to 68 years in 2027!

Thank you,
Angela Kline

Their dedication to art, service, and our local community helps us live out our mission and connect art, artists, and all the different people that join us in the streets of Ann Arbor. This year while facing additional and unpredictable weather conditions our AASAF volunteers helped keep everyone safe and supported during the event.

Whether booth sitting for artists, helping guests at the info booth, distributing supplies to artists, or more, it all makes a difference. Thank you, volunteers, for helping make Art for All a reality. We can’t wait to team up again for the 2027 fair!
