Want to do more than attend?
PAF happens because people bring their skills, creativity, energy, and enthusiasm to make it what it is. Whether you're interested in presenting, performing, vending, or joining the staff team, there's a place to get involved.

At Primal Arts Fest (PAF):
Staff are individuals who commit to shifts or roles in exchange for a complimentary or discounted ticket to the event. This discount may include meals and accommodation, depending on role and commitment.
Volunteers are attendees who have purchased a ticket and choose to donate their time during the festival.
We can’t wait to have you with us—Primal Arts Fest wouldn’t happen without the amazing people who help bring it all to life.
Applications for staff are open. Learn more in our info packet.
Volunteer Opportunities include taxi driver, ritual dancer, and general event support. Select any of these that appeal to you during registration, and we’ll be in touch.

The PAF Vendor Market is a place for artisans, makers, merchants, curators, and service providers to share their work with the PAF community.
We are looking for vendors whose products, services, or creative work are a good fit for an adult, alternative, kink-positive festival.
The market may include handmade goods, kink and leather gear, adornments, art, clothing, toys, accessories, specialty services, food and beverage offerings, and other work that fits the character of the event.
As a vendor, you’ll get a special discounted admission, full access to the festival, and a great opportunity to showcase your work to an audience that truly values handmade and creative offerings.
Applications for vending are open in two rounds.

We are looking for tattoo artists, body piercing, and body modification professionals to offer services during Primal Arts Fest 27.
Learn more about offering services as a body modification professional here.

PAF also offers attendee-led programming known as Embers.
Embers are activities hosted by attendees rather than part of the primary presenter program. They can include informal skill shares, gatherings, parties, workshops, and other activities.
If your idea is better suited to an attendee-led activity than a scheduled presenter class, an Ember may be the right fit.
Because we want hosts to have experienced PAF firsthand and understand the rhythm and flow of the event, Ember hosting is limited to returning attendees.
Share your ideas on the Discord to see if others may be interested! The form to submit your Ember for approval, guidance, and support will be opening soon.
