Salem Arts Association is a community gallery located in Salem’s Historic Waterfront District located next to the Salem Maritime National Historic Site. We feature more than 100 local and regional artists in our historic 18th Century landmark building. Our galleries and shop offer affordable locally created arts, crafts, and more. Our 10 galleries flow through two floors of this historic space. Also featured is the Paul Nathan Gallery and Museum.

Salem Arts Association builds a vibrant community to celebrate arts, in all of its forms, to the community and brings the community, in all of its diversity, to the arts. Celebrating the arts includes gallery exhibits, curated gallery shop, performance art, arts education, and arts advocacy.
