Join us June 1 – 3 for the 2012 festival downtown Salem

Welcome to the Salem Arts Festival’s home page!  For three days each summer, this free festival transforms downtown Salem into an opportunity for the local arts community to showcase their talents.  Last year’s festival was attended by over 5,000 residents and visitors, involved over 80 artists, a juried art show, outdoor performance at the East India Square Stage, interactive art presentations, and artists located in 20 downtown businesses.  People of all ages and backgrounds enjoyed viewing art, participating in art making and purchasing art.

We are currently looking for artists to participate in the festival and volunteers to help with the organizing of the 2012 festival.  If you are interested contact Salem Main Streets Manager, Jennifer Bell at jennifer@salemmainstreets.org or (978)744-0004 x15.

Thank you,

The Salem Arts Festival Committee

The Salem Arts Festival is a project of the Salem Main Streets Initiative – funded in part by the City of Salem, Kimberley Driscoll, Mayor and the U.S. Dept. of Housing and Urban Development.  The Salem Main Street Initiative is a preservation-based, volunteer driven strategy for commercial district revitalization.  The Initiative is modeled on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s National Main Street Program.  Main Streets works because it involves all interested stakeholders in the downtown and provides a comprehensive strategy of work, tailored to local needs and opportunities of the community.
