2025 Season at Salem Arts

Salem Arts Association is excited to offer the following exhibition opportunities at our galleries. 

Please review our full exhibition guidelines and procedures

JANUARY 2025


Call for Artists: "Shattered"

An unprecedented immersive exhibition curated and created by Tadhg Slater in collaboration with Salem Arts Association.

We are blowing open the door and redefining the rules with a January Exhibition! Closed in January? Hardly!

Shattered explodes the boundaries of traditional art experiences. Journey through a world of fractured reflections, distorted perspectives, and unexpected juxtapositions where walls dissolve, floors shift, and reality bends. This groundbreaking exhibition, born from the collaborative redesign of the gallery by the artists themselves, guarantees to make you think, feel, and engage with contemporary art in a whole new way.

We seek submissions from local and national artists across all mediums, especially outsider artists, exploring themes of brokenness, identity, memory, transformation, and perception.

Selected artists gain unparalleled opportunities: exhibit in a cutting-edge immersive environment, collaborate with renowned artists like Tadhg Slater, Will Weygint, Jonathan Pinto, David Curcio , Aaron Kuzman,  and others, and reach a diverse audience with the potential to launch artistic careers. Do not miss out on this opportunity.

Jurying: All works juried by Tadhg Slater and the aforementioned established artists.

Important Dates:

Gallery Immersive Installation Begins: December 16th (local artists are expected to participate) Submission Deadline: December 26th Artwork Delivery Deadline: January 2nd

To Submit: Email Tadhg.SLater@salemarts.org with artist statement, CV, and images/video of work. (only accepted pieces will be curated)

Please Note: To preserve the immersive experience, there will be no gift shop in January.

Exhibition Dates: Jan 9th to Feb 10th

Location: Salem Arts Association 159 derby St Salem Ma 01970
