Ann Arbor's quirkiest art fair is back for another year! Come for a stroll through the Old West Side and see this year's gathering of talented artists who have been selected by jury for the event.

Shakespeare’s most enchanting comedy! On the shortest night of the year, runaway lovers, a troupe of amateur actors, and mischievous fairies collide in a magical forest where nothing is quite what it seems. As the rules of logic unravel, four young lovers are swept away in a tangled web of charms, feuds, and moonlit mischief. Whimsical and witty, A Midsummer Night’s Dream is a joyful celebration of transformation and the strange spell of love.

This exhibition invited artists from around the country to explore the connection between literature and the visual arts. Each artist was given the challenge to select a fiction or nonfiction book that moves them and create works in any medium that visually interpret or respond to its pages. Books spark imagination, stir emotion, and transport us to new worlds—artists bring those worlds to life! Juried by Katie Rothley, Marketing & Public Relations Librarian at the Northville District Library, this exhibition celebrates the magic of storytelling and the creative journeys it inspires.

The Moth StorySLAM is an open-mic storytelling competition in which anyone can share a true, personal, 5-minute story on the night's theme. Sign up for a chance to tell a story or sit back and enjoy the show! Tonight’s theme is…

ROMANCE: Prepare a five-minute story about love, whether it was at first sight or just last night. Chance encounters, meetcutes, will-they-won’t-theys, and slow burns. Share your awkward morning-afters or hard-won happily-ever-afters. Or take your affections in unexpected directions: friend crushes or a little self-love. From matches made in heaven to dates straight from hell, we want your relationship glow-ups, blowups, and everything in between. Oh Romeo, Romeo… you had me at hello-meo.
