Salem Art Walk fosters an environment of courtesy, dignity, and respect, free from discrimination or harassment. We do not discriminate based on race, color, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, or religion. Businesses that fail to uphold these values may be removed from the venue list at the committee’s discretion.
FYI:
If you want to stay open on First Friday but close early, or choose not to host an artist, that’s fine — you just won’t be listed on the map. The more businesses open downtown on First Friday, the better!
