September 12-14, 2025

The heart of the Salem Art Fair & Festival is our wonderful volunteer crew! When you sign up to volunteer, you’ll receive:

  • (1) free weekend pass to the event
  • (1) commemorative SAFF volunteer T-Shirt
  • (1) free Salem Art Association annual membership
  • a discount at the Salem Art Association gallery gift store

…and the joy of supporting the arts and our community!

We have some volunteers who take a shift every day as well as volunteers who only do one shift–we appreciate and need all of you to help keep the Art Fair & Festival running smoothly.

You can sign up for shifts online–it’s quick and easy to do.
