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.

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.

SUMMARY:Tales of a Not-So-Tiny-House
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a captivating book talk and discussion with authors Chloe Barcelou and Brandon Batchelder as they share insights from their book Tales of a Not-So-Tiny House\, in conversation with Ruthie Dibble\, PEM’s Robert N. Shapiro Curator of American Decorative Art. Their tiny house will also be on display in the Brown Street parking lot for guests to view! \nThis visually rich book tells the story of their custom steampunk caravan\, nestled in the wilds of New England. If you’re lucky enough to take a wrong turn in the mountains of New Hampshire\, you might just stumble upon this 300-square-foot handmade home. A magical blend of fairy tale cottage\, steamer trunk and pirate ship\, it’s built almost entirely from recycled film sets\, thrift store finds\, flea market treasures and junkyard gems. \nOriginally featured on HGTV’s Tiny House\, Big Living\, this unique home garnered international attention in print and online and became a TikTok sensation. The book takes readers on a journey through the couple’s process of building and decorating their home\, which they have completely redesigned in recent years. Much like the house itself\, every inch of this richly ornate book is packed with innovative ideas for small-space living. Discover foldable sections that create individual wings with custom-built wardrobes\, desks\, chairs and a vanity. Explore a bathroom complete with a composting toilet and a folding sink\, and even a guest bed. Barcelou and Batchelder also share the everyday joys of small-space living: creating storage in every nook and cranny\, baking pies in their tiny kitchen with freshly gathered fruit and climbing into their dramatically curtained bed loft by candlelight. \nSumptuously designed and illustrated\, this book offers a truly original perspective on small-space living. \nBooks can be purchased from the museum shop in advance and on the day of the talk. The authors will be available for a book signing and meet-and-greet after the talk.

SUMMARY:Birds at Rest
DESCRIPTION:Birds need sleep as much as we do\, and they have evolved some unique habits to match their intensely energetic lifestyles. Ornithologist and author Roger Pasquier discusses the evolution and benefits of avian sleep\, including recent discoveries that some long-distance flyers can even sleep while in flight! Other birds sleep in short bouts of several seconds or a few minutes\, then wake up to look around for danger before going back to sleep. Human impacts like artificial light\, noise and climate change are changing how and where birds can get a good night’s rest. \nA book signing for Birds at Rest: The Behavior and Ecology of Avian Sleep (2025) follows the program. \nThis program is cohosted by the Essex County Ornithological Club and made possible by a gift from The Essex Charitable Foundation.

SUMMARY:Creative Neighbors | Vecinos Creativos: Punto Urban Art Museum
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an artist talk with Punto Urban Art Museum’s (PUAM) Creative Neighbors muralists to celebrate their work and strengthen the bridge between local artists and the museum. \nThe Creative Neighbors project brings in local and regional artists to create a series of murals in Salem’s Point neighborhood (El Punto). The theme for this year’s murals\, “Raíces | Roots\,” prompted the selected muralists to reflect on their heritage and the concept of being rooted. In addition to their large-scale murals\, six of the muralists created accompanying canvas works for display at PEM. \nThis project is made possible by PEM’s partnership and is an official part of Punto Urban Art Museum’s Salem 400+ offerings. Canvases by six of the muralists will be on display in PEM’s Main Atrium from November 15–December 2\, with potential remounts in 2026 as part of PEM’s Salem 400+ celebrations.

SUMMARY:Wheelock Variations in Concert at Peabody Essex Museum
DESCRIPTION:Guitarist Alexander Lassa and composer Charles Shadle present Wheelock Variations: The Choctaw Hymn Tradition in a Contemporary Context\, a concert that celebrates both musicians’ tribal identity as enrolled members of the Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma. \nThe central work on the program is Shadle’s Wheelock Variations\, a 25-minute work for solo guitar\, commissioned by Lassa\, that is based on “Vba Isht Taloa 139” (Choctaw Hymn 139). The title of Wheelock Variations references the historic Wheelock Academy near Millerton Oklahoma/Choctaw Nation\, and the nearby Wheelock Church. Both bear the name of Eleazar Wheelock (1711–1779)\, Congregational minister and founder of Dartmouth college\, and an important advocate for the education of Native American people. Wheelock Academy was established by the respected early missionary to the Choctaws\, Alfred Wright (1788-1853)\, who founded the school in 1832. He and his congregation built the stone Wheelock Church in 1845–46. Very much in the severe style of the New England country meeting house\, it is the oldest church building in Oklahoma. It has recently been returned to the ownership of the Choctaw Nation. \nIn part\, Wheelock Variations memorializes this event\, while also engaging\, through musical means\, with the complex history of the place and its people. Wheelock Variations can be heard as an act of cultural preservation that understands that the past\, in order to stay viable\, must be continually reimagined\, so that it remains accessible to both Choctaw and non-Choctaw listeners.
