Salem Seeks 'Creative Entrepreneurs' For Artists Row

From the City of Salem

SALEM, MA – Mayor Kimberley Driscoll is looking for creative entrepreneurs to participate in the thirteenth season of Artists’ Row, a City of Salem Arts Space Initiative. Artists’ Row is located in historic downtown Salem at 24 New Derby Street, across from Old Town Hall and Derby Square. This area, at the heart of the City, was originally built as a market place and continues to this day to be an important public plaza and pedestrian way.

Artists’ Row is a seasonal program (May 18 –November 1, 2017) that provides space for artisans interested in building their audience through daily engagement with residents and visitors to Salem. The variety of activities considered for Artists’ Row spaces to include all types of uniquely produced or crafted products that have appeal to a wide audience. Possible categories are handcrafted products, artwork, and artisanal food products. The City is particularly interested in activities that will contribute to a lively activated passage that serves as an entryway to one of the central public spaces in downtown Salem.
