The Street Art Encounter

The Street Art Encounter is making its debut in downtown Ann Arbor!

Join us on Friday, September 12, 2025, as downtown Ann Arbor is transformed into a vibrant, open-air gallery during the Street Art Encounter. From noon until sundown, watch as sidewalks and street spaces come alive with live street art, interactive installations, and creative expression from talented local and regional artists.

This family-friendly event invites the public to experience art in motion—no gallery walls, no velvet ropes—just raw creativity happening right before your eyes. You’ll see artists creating murals, chalk masterpieces, and experimental works directly on the streets, engaging with the community and turning the city into a canvas.

Whether you’re an art lover, a casual stroller, or just looking for something fun and free to do downtown, the Street Art Encounter offers a one-of-a-kind opportunity to connect with the creative spirit of Ann Arbor.
