SUMMARY:The New York Neo-Futurists: The Infinite Wrench
DESCRIPTION:This show may include the use of flashing/strobing lights. It may also include adult themes\, humor\, language and content\, including alcohol use and partial nudity. \nPEM Presents is made possible by The Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation. \nJoin the New York Neo-Futurists for an off-the-wall theater experience at PEM! Watch this experimental ensemble attempt to perform 30 short plays in one hour with The Infinite Wrench. \nEach play offers something different — something funny\, profound\, elegant\, disgusting\, topical\, irrelevant\, terrifying or musical. All are truthful and tackle the here-and-now\, inspired by the lived experiences of the performers. The Infinite Wrench is the Neo-Futurists’ ongoing and ever-changing attempt to shift the conventions of live performance and speak to audiences\, including people who feel “unreached or unmoved” by traditional theater. \nThe New York Neo-Futurists are a radically dynamic ensemble of multidisciplinary artists who write and perform original work rooted in the truth of their own lived experiences. They fuse elements of poetry\, game and performance art to create ever-changing theatre and other artistic experiments to respond to the world around us. \nPEM Presents seeks to surprise and delight audiences with world-class artistry in music\, theater\, dance\, film and more. This series allows audiences to learn about the artistic process and supports the development of artists with local\, regional\, national and global perspectives. PEM Presents further activates the museum as a global center for art\, culture and creativity with artist residencies\, live performances\, lecture series\, symposia and conferences. PEM Presents is a collaboration between Learning and Community Engagement and the Present Tense initiative. \nHappens on the following Dates:\nJun 5\, 2026\, 7:30pm to 9:00pm\nJun 6\, 2026\, 7:30pm to 9:00pm

SUMMARY:PEM Presents Vivaldi with Symphony by the Sea
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a concert and talk with the North Shore’s professional symphony orchestra\, Symphony by the Sea. Over the centuries\, the four seasons have inspired numerous composers to represent their moods in music. During the Baroque period (1500-1750)\, many composers produced cycles of concertos representing the seasons. Antonio Vivaldi used four sonnets of his own creation as a starting point for the vivid and lively music of his Four Seasons. Follow the sonnets together with Maestro Donald Palma\, then enjoy a virtuosic performance. \nThe program will include a 20-minute talk by Maestro Donald Palma and an approximately 45-minute performance of the Four Seasons\, followed by a light reception. \nPEM Presents is made possible by The Joseph and Robert Cornell Memorial Foundation.

SUMMARY:The Many Names of Anonymity
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an author talk and book signing for a groundbreaking new publication with close ties to PEM’s collection. In The Many Names of Anonymity: Portraitists of the Canton Trade\, art historian Winnie Wong explores the vibrant community of artists working in Guangzhou\, China in the 18th and 19th centuries. \nMany of their paintings survive today\, yet scholars have identified only a handful of the painters’ identities. Pushing against Western norms that have shaped our understanding of authorship\, Wong reveals that these artists shared names\, created works in multiples and signed their pieces with different names or none at all. She charts the genealogy of this naming problem by bringing to life the artists of the Qing Empire’s trade with Westerners at the port of Guangzhou\, centering on a group of portraitists known by names that were recorded in a pidgin language: Chin Qua\, Chit Qua\, Spoilum\, Lam Qua and Ting Qua. \nWong’s lavishly illustrated book explores portraiture across media\, including unfired clay\, reverse painting on glass\, watercolor on paper\, oil on canvas and the daguerreotype\, to propose new ways of studying anonymity\, copying and the emergence of author names in the Chinese-European visual culture of the 18th century. \nWong will present a talk to introduce the book’s main themes and then talk with Karina Corrigan\, Deputy Chief Curator and H. A. Crosby Forbes Curator of Asian Export Art at PEM about her ongoing research.

SUMMARY:Salem as Muse: Collecting the Globe with George Schwartz
DESCRIPTION:In 2026\, as part of the Salem 400+ initiative\, PEM will present “Salem as Muse\,” a series of talks that highlight works represented in PEM’s collection. These programs will explore a diverse range of subjects that connect to the unique history and character of Salem\, Massachusetts. Join us for the launch of “Salem as Muse” with George Schwartz\, Curator-at-Large\, who will discuss his book Collecting the Globe. \nAs the oldest continually operating and collecting museum in the country\, PEM has seen more than two centuries of evolution and innovation since its founding in 1799. Collecting the Globe offers a window into the early days of the museum: “To escape the ‘prosaic streets’ of Salem\, Massachusetts\, in the first half of the 19th century\, local residents and travelers from across the United States and the globe came to the East India Marine Society Museum (1799–1876). Located on the town’s main thoroughfare\, Essex Street\, the museum transported individuals to another world…” \n“It is unheard of to still have the original archival material\, and the collection\, and the permanent home for an early American institution\,” says Schwartz. “You have to use the term ‘unique\,’ because we are the only one.” A comprehensive history offering fresh perspectives on museums and how they helped shape our national identity\, Collecting the Globe explores collecting\, exhibiting and interpreting a diversity of international objects and art in early America. Schwartz\, co-curator of the new installation in the East India Marine Society’s first permanent home\, East India Marine Hall\, aims to capture the dynamic history of one of the most important American museums during a pivotal time when Salem was a leading port and launching point for global trade. \nExplore the hundreds of fascinating objects on view in East India Marine Hall before or after the talk.

SUMMARY:Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebrations
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free day at PEM as we celebrate and reflect on the legacy of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and the upcoming exhibition Edmonia Lewis: Said In Stone. \nArtist Edmonia Lewis moved continually throughout her life\, living in upstate New York\, Ohio\, Boston\, London and Rome\, searching for a place where she could thrive as an individual and artist. We invite visitors to reflect on their own identity and search for community\, drawing inspiration from Lewis’ life as well as the enduring ideals of justice\, equality and inclusion embodied by leaders like King. \nNorth Shore Youth Community Mural \n10 am–5 pm | Main Atrium \nIn partnership with RAW Art Works\, young artists across Salem and Lynn have been collaborating on a large-scale community mural\, reflecting on ways they hope to embody the idea of belonging. What words would you leave behind for the next generation\, written in the history books like Martin or carved into stone like Edmonia? \nDrop-In Art Making: Collagraphs \n11 am–3 pm | Create Space Studios \nWe invite you to contribute your own words for Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Make your own collagraph printmaking plate or find one made by a community member that speaks to you. Add your words to a second mural and take a print home as a keepsake. \nWe’ll also be screening the short film “My Black Is…” in the Create Space Studios to inspire you as you create. This film\, made by RAW Art Works alums Miguel Valdez and Eunice Beato\, features young women working to redefine what their Black identity means to them.

SUMMARY:Poet in High Street Park
DESCRIPTION:Join the PEM Reads community for a live book launch! Hear Salem’s first-ever poet laureate J.D. Scrimgeour read from his new work Poet in High Street Park: Prose & Poetry for Modern Salem. \nDavid Snider\, PEM’s Director of Learning & Community Engagement\, will host an author talk with Scrimgeour followed by a light reception and book signing. \nPoet in High Street Park: Prose & Poetry for Modern Salem is a love song to Salem by a writer who has grounded himself in the everyday realities of living in the city for the past 30 years\, from playgrounds to classrooms to ballfields. It is testimony that\, Halloween hoopla aside\, people live here. Finding the universal in the local\, this book asks who we are\, and who we want to be. \nPEM Reads celebrates the art of literature and the creative act of writing through a year-round series of collaborative book club readings and author events\, both in person and online. By gathering to read and discuss world-class literature and meet authors\, PEM Reads seeks to deepen our sense of community and celebrate great storytelling. We hope you’ll join us! \nThis program is part of Salem 400+ celebrations. Explore all of PEM’s Salem 400+ activities here.
