Ann Arbor's quirkiest art fair is back for another year on the Old West Side! Westside Art Hop is a community effort pulled together by Sophie Grillet, Caitlin Boyce Jensen, and Hannah VanDuinen, not to mention a large number of dedicated volunteers; the hosts throughout the neighborhood who open up their lawns, garages, and/or porches; and of course the artists who bring their work to the party. Come for a stroll through the neighborhood to explore the art, enjoy the beautiful neighborhood, and shop. Food trucks and portapotties will be available, and there will even be live music at a nearby church for further entertainment.

Exhibit will be viewable in the month of June with the opening reception on June 5, 6 pm to 8 pm. Kelsey Kistler will be presenting her mixed media work - color, black and white, and alternative process photographs.

“I am fascinated by environmental psychology, the unconscious, and the ways in which narrative and emotion have a way of emerging even when context is scarce. There is a playfulness and embrace of unpredictability inherent to my photographic approach, especially when working with analog media. I love the drama, heartbreak, and element of chance that comes with expired film, toy cameras, unique stocks, and experimental processing. I rise equally to the challenge of digital imaging by moving away from the purely evidential: into the manipulable, the abstract, and the surreality that comes with the suspension of time. In spaces, I’m drawn to found textures and discovered geometries. When photographing people - including myself - I am always in search of a hidden internality. In snapshot photography, “candid” merely implies spontaneity, while “to speak candidly” is to express oneself directly and honestly. I’m interested in the intersection of these two definitions. Kismet is a collection of work that spans several disparate projects, but which together are all in animated conversation with these recurrent themes.” - Kelsey Wyland Kistler

Sometimes loving our neighbors means looking out for those who may be most vulnerable in our community. Join us for a conversation about simple ways we can support and protect older adults, recognize when someone may need help, and learn how small acts of care can make a big difference.

Tuesday, June 16th, 2026, @ 10am-12noon in the Assisi Center, please join us for this important training to highlight the simple, practical ways people can check in on older adults, notice when someone might need help, and connect them to support. This is really about how we, as a community, can look out for and support vulnerable neighbors.
