Exhibitions
Salem Arts Association celebrates October in Salem each year with this seminal exhibition. This year, we ask our members and the artist community at large to take a deep dive into the season and into Salem’s history, exploring the themes of witchcraft, the occult, autumn, and Halloween. This open call for art welcomes artists in the region to submit their work around these themes, in any medium. From cute to creepy, serious to spooky; from the tragedy of history to the bawdy revelry of October in Salem today, what does this time of year stir in your soul? By bringing your diverse takes on October in Salem together, we create a collective vision and understanding of what this time of year represents for us.
The 2024 exhibition season is generously sponsored by the Peabody Essex Museum and The Michael and Ronne Cosel Foundation. Artoberfest Exhibit is proudly sponsored by Witch City Walking Tours. |
