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.

  • Reception: Friday, September 13, 2024, 6:00-8:00 PM
  • Exhibition Dates: September 14 – November 9, 2024
  • Gallery Hours are every Saturday and Sunday from 12:00 – 6:00 p.m.
