The City of Salem’s Public Art Commission and the Salem Arts Festival are joining forces to host the annual Salem Arts Festival Mural Slam (SAF Mural Slam), a dynamic live painting event that engages the public with creative producers and enhances the cultural vitality of downtown Salem. Salem Arts Festival is a project of Salem Main Streets and Creative Collective.
The event will take place at Artists’ Row, a historic marketplace turned vibrant arts hub located at 24 New Derby Street. This initiative aims to bring world-class, inspiring artwork to downtown Salem, enriching the local community and further establishing the area as a celebrated destination for public art and creativity.
Twelve selected artists will have the chance to showcase their talents alongside the skilled artisans of Artists’ Row, benefiting from exposure to Salem’s million+ annual tourists, while also contributing to the overall vibrancy of this unique arts nexus.
