Salem's downtown art galleries are full of maritime paintings.
Salem is a place steeped in culture. With a strong and fascinating history, it is far from a surprise that the local arts scene is worth checking out.
In fact, there are numerous galleries worthy of not only local attention, but also perhaps a national focus. Take advantage of your proximity to these great collections and enjoy the many galleries located just minutes from your Salem apartment.
- Similarly, the Kensington-Stobart Gallery at the Hawthorne Hotel delivers classical paintings that often take on maritime themes. They especially focus on oil paintings by maritime Artist John Stobart.
- Marine Arts Gallery at Essex Street offers a nod to the rich past of Salem, while also celebrating the present artistic scene. You’ll find tons of marine-themed paintings with ships setting sail.
- Meanwhile, the Peabody Essex Museum goes above and beyond the standards for a local museum and consistently delivers fascinating exhibits. Through April 29, catch their exhibit “Shapeshifting: Transformations in Native American Art,” as well as their permanent collection of cultural, oceanic and maritime art.
For more information on these and the many other galleries and art-related events in Salem, consult with the Salem Arts Association and their excellent events calendar.
Savor the Salem art scene and more when you find the right Salem apartment to call your own at Jefferson at Salem Station. With the perfect location and convenient amenities, all you need to worry about is moving in and exploring all of the cultural finds that this great city has to offer.
