Don’t miss the live mural slam on Artists’ Row! \nArts and culture are an integral part of day-to-day life in Salem\, and this annual festival has become a source of pride and inspiration for the city. Join us as we support and celebrate the creative community in Salem. \nPEM is proud to partner with Salem Main Streets and the Creative Collective. \nThe PEM Prize recognizes artists whose work explores the catalytic relationship between creativity and civic engagement. The museum has commissioned these works to honor Marie Watt\, an interdisciplinary artist and PEM Prize recipient whose work draws together aspects of history\, community engagement and Indigenous teachings. \nSchedule\nBrunch in the Atrium Café\n10 am–12 pm \nInterconnectedness Scavenger Hunt\n10 am–4 pm \nPick up an all-ages clue sheet at our table in the Main Atrium and search for objects around the museum! \nOnce the museum closes\, we encourage you to visit the Salem Arts Festival.
