"Then and Now" - Stories of Change
Salem Arts Association invites artists to explore how our lives, surroundings, and perspectives have evolved over time. What once felt constant may now seem unfamiliar. What once felt fixed may now feel fluid. What was uncertain may now have come into focus.
Through personal reflection and memories, cultural observation, or imagined futures, consider the contrasts between past and present, and how time shapes our understanding of ourselves and the shifting nature of the world around us.
What moments, or places linger in contrast to the present?
What beliefs or ideas are now memories?
Open Saturdays and Sundays from 12:00 – 6:00 p.m.
Salem Arts Association Galleries, 159 Derby Street, Salem MA 01970

| Our Guest Juror: Kate Luchini About Kate Luchini My path to Assistant Professor of Experiential Learning at Endicott has been shaped by museum work, public art, community development, and studio practice. I began building exhibits at the Chicago Children’s Museum and later served as Assistant Director of Loyola’s museum, where I discovered a passion for teaching. I’ve held leadership roles at the Peabody Essex Museum for over 20 years and directed Experiential Learning at Montserrat. In community roles, I’ve worked to expand equity in the arts and drive creative revitalization—as Executive Director of the Lynn Museum/LynnArts, founding Director of the Downtown Lynn Cultural District, and Public Art Planner for the City of Salem. My volunteer and advisory work includes the Punto Urban Art Museum, Mass Cultural Council, and Beyond Walls, among others. I continue my studio practice in copper enameling and enjoy drawing from my diverse experience to support the next generation of arts professionals. |
