Visitors will be given clues to find Zinn’s characters
ANN ARBOR – Ann Arbor’s very own David Zinn will be making an appearance at the Ann Arbor Art Fair -- well, sort of.
The world famous artist, who is known for incorporating his whimsical chalk characters into natural and city scenes in plain sight, has been commissioned to hide three of his drawings throughout the Ann Arbor Summer Art Fair.
The fair will take place July 15-17.
This year, the Summer Art Fair, run by the Guild of Artists and Artisans, will take over the South University area fair, nearly doubling its footprint.
Zinn’s drawings will be hidden in the areas marked in red on the map below.

With so much action and so much to see, how will you spot his creations? The Art Fair will be releasing hints on its social media pages to help visitors locate his temporary drawings.
