The Ark, Folk music venue in downtown Ann Arbor, United States.
The Ark is a music venue in downtown Ann Arbor with a performance space that seats around 400 people. The entrance features illuminated glass doors decorated with musician images and a glowing sign above the entryway.
The venue was founded in 1965 as a small music club and grew over the decades. It moved several times throughout Ann Arbor before establishing itself at its current location on Main Street.
The venue draws performers and audiences around folk, acoustic, and roots music traditions. Visitors gather to experience both emerging and established musicians from different cultural backgrounds and musical styles.
The venue is easy to reach on foot and sits in an active neighborhood with nearby shops and restaurants. Arriving early gives you time to find a good spot and explore the surrounding area before the show starts.
The venue operates as a nonprofit organization supported by volunteers. This model helps keep ticket prices affordable and makes the music accessible to more people in the community.
