A Little About the Shadow Art Fair

The first ever Shadow Art Fair, held July 15th, 2006 at the Corner Brewery in Ypsilanti, was a resounding success. We got so much overwhelmingly positive feedback from the over 1,000 people in attendance and the artists involved that we decided to make another one happen before another year went by. the vendor area will be expanding into the other side of the brewery. This will make it less crowded and allow us to invite new artists. We will also have musical acts performing outside.
