Alki Art Fair Seeking Volunteer Coordinator

The Alki Art Fair is West Seattle’s beach-side festival that brings people of all ages, cultures and backgrounds together to celebrate local arts and music. Our goal is to promote art education and appreciation by creating opportunities for community involvement and cultural diversity through the arts. The Fair features more than 75 local artist and craft vendors, live music, interactive kid’s activities, food, a beer garden and the ever-popular silent auction held in the historic Alki Bathhouse. This year’s Fair will be held July 27-28.

We’re a tribe of folks who share a passion for art, craftspeople and our community.
