Salem Arts Festival Extends a Call for Proposals
due April 15, 2009
Salem Main Streets along with representatives of many of the city’s cultural institutions are in the final planning stages for the first Salem Arts Festival. The festival is to take place from June 5-7, 2009.
A Call for Proposals has been released. The Salem Arts Festival is looking for participation from artists and performers in a diverse range of media for this three day event. The Festival will celebrate painting, photography, sculpture, dance, music, writing, film, new media, performance, theatre, poetry, culinary, etc. The event will support local artists by providing them a free venue to interact with the community. Many of the activities are planned to take place in downtown Salem.
The Call for Proposals is available by calling Jennifer Bell at the offices of Salem Main Streets at (978) 744-0004, ext. 15. The proposal is also available for download on the Arts Festival website at www.salemartsfestival.com. The deadline for all entries has been extended to April 15, 2009.

Acceptance of proposals will be dictated by time and space requirements, as well as appropriateness to the festival’s goals. Art will be juried by a representative of the Peabody Essex Museum.
The Festival organizers are thrilled to have received a most generous $1,500.00 grant from the Salem Cultural Council to help organize and publicize this inaugural event.
