Temp Event Staff - The Other Art Fair
Leaf Group

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. Unlike traditional art fairs where attendees buy from galleries, The Other Art Fair offers attendees unparalleled direct access to artists, alongside experimental programming, appealing to first-time art buyers and seasoned art collectors alike.

We are looking for Onsite Event Staff to help us at our Brooklyn edition of The Other Art Fair. Event Staff are an important part of the organization and contribute to the effective execution of the Fair. They are the first point of contact for visitors and exhibiting artists. This is a paid, temporary position that requires working onsite at the fair location.

Leaf Group is a house of brands, creating and cultivating digital-first companies in growing lifestyle categories: Fitness & Wellness (Well+Good, Livestrong.com); Home & Decor (Hunker, Society6, Deny Designs), and Art & Design (Saatchi Art, The Other Art Fair). Additionally, we have performance focused brands in key categories such as Travel, Pets, and DIY (OnlyInYourState, Cuteness, eHow). Our media and marketplace brands are authentic and authoritative, reaching a large and growing passionate audience.

We work in a fun, collaborative environment that is diverse, adventurous, and open-minded. We look for proactive, accountable people focused on continuous learning and growth to push themselves and our businesses forward. Check us out here.
