The Ann Arbor Art Fair welcomes nearly half a million visitors from July 16-18. 

There will be a thousand juried artists from across Michigan and the entire country. They will serve at three simultaneous nonprofit events:

- The Ann Arbor Street Art Fair, The Original
- The Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair
- The Ann Arbor State Street District Art Fair

A Youth Art Fair and Kids Collectors Club is also present for grade school creatives.

Karen Bauer has been the executive director of the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair for twenty years, while Teesha Lieber is a Detroit marbling artist from Spontaneity Works.

They join the show to talk about youth participation and keeping art authentic during the digital age.
