Job Overview:

Presented by Saatchi Art, The Other Art Fair is a leading art fair for discovering emerging artists, with editions in cities around the world, including London, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, Sydney, and Melbourne.

We are looking for Onsite Event Staff to help us at our upcoming edition of The Other Art Fair. Onsite Event Staff play a vital role in the success of the event, contributing to the smooth execution of the Fair. As the first point of contact for both visitors and exhibiting artists, you will help create a welcoming and engaging atmosphere. This is a paid, temporary position requiring onsite work at the fair location.
