A Community Tradition since 1984

A2SF champions performing arts, outdoor entertainment, and community spirit. In addition to a nearly four-week festival each June that attracts a diverse audience of over 80,000 people and offers over 200 concerts, art exhibitions, kids activities, spectacle, and film screenings, A2SF presents compelling experiences throughout the year.

Founded by Eugene Power, and established as a partnership between the City of Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan, early seasons emphasized classical music and theater, but have since become more popular and diverse in nature, encompassing a breadth of performance genres. Today, the June festival offers two concurrent series. The outdoor centerpiece at Top of the Park offers admission-free concerts, movies, open-air spectacles, and unique family attractions held along a beautiful U-M campus green. The indoor, ticketed series features world-class music, dance, contemporary circus, and comedy.

Art Installation – Jackie Blue
Stop by the Annex any night at Top of the Park to enjoy a crocheted art installation from local artist Jackie Blue.

From the artist:
Hanging on my ceiling are two crocheted tapestries. I created these pieces to decorate my bedroom and to bring me joy every night while I fall asleep and every morning when I wake up. They are so familiar to me now and I strongly associate them with the comfort of my Ann Arbor bedroom.

As I am preparing to embark on my life outside of Michigan, I chose to translate these two tapestries into two much bigger works for my whole city to see. The palette and texture of these two triangular tapestries parallel the ones hanging in my bedroom along with their aerial installation. With gratitude to Top of the Park for giving me this opportunity, I now want you, my beautiful city, to look up at this textile installation and share my same feelings of joy and comfort.
