Internship Opportunities

The Saint Louis Art Fair is celebrating 30 Years! (SLAF)

The Saint Louis Art Fair (SLAF) is an annual celebration of the visual and performing arts featuring artists from the St. Louis area and across the nation. On September 6, 7, and 8, 2024 we will be celebrating our 31st anniversary. Over 180 artists selected by a distinguished panel of jurors will exhibit and sell their original work in booths located on the streets of downtown Clayton, Missouri. The festival also features the children’s “Creative Castle” which gives children the opportunity to participate in structured art activities designed to stimulate the creative process. Professional performing artists and ensembles entertain audiences on three different stages offering festival audiences a greater understanding of the arts via music, spoken words and even comedy. Additionally, an impressive array of fine foods served by some of St. Louis’ finest restaurants will fill the festival’s popular Restaurant Row – and food trucks will be reintroduced this year as well. A distinguished and educated audience hailing from near and far attend this event each year. Please note: Chosen interns must be available and on-site at the Saint Louis Art Fair all weekend – Friday, September 6th, Saturday, September 7th, and Sunday, September 8th.
