The Alki Art Fair doesn’t happen without a solid group of volunteers dedicated to ensuring that the fair runs smoothly for public enjoyment and for our artist/food vendors and musicians. Attendance at our 2011 Fair was over 15,000 for the two days and over 20,000 for the two days of the 2012 Fair.
Planning Committee Volunteer Opportunities
The Planning Committee consists of the Art Fair Director and 12 “subcommittees” with specific duties assigned to produce the Fair and to coordinate with the community. Each activity has a responsible chair; all chairs will need volunteers to help them as the Fair weekend draws closer.
