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.
Curator-at-Large Paula Richter will give a presentation centered on Lucy Cleveland: textile artist, children's book author, 19th-century reformer and abolitionist. Born in Salem in 1780, Cleveland traveled to China and Indonesia with her husband, a sea captain, and published more than a dozen books. One of her artworks is on display in Salem Stories.
About our presenter
Paula Richter Since 2009, Paula Richter has been responsible for curatorial research and support of the museum's changing exhibition program, related publications and core activities within the curatorial department. She has participated on exhibition teams for more than a dozen recent and upcoming exhibitions and numerous gallery installations and rotations, including The Salem Witch Trials 1692. She previously worked for the Cape Ann Historical Association, the Sargent House Museum and Landmark College. A graduate of the University of New Hampshire, Richter writes and lectures on American textiles and fashion and New England art and decorative arts. She also leads PEM’s partnership with Handwork 2026, presented by Craft in America.

Join us for a concert and talk with the North Shore’s professional symphony orchestra, <a href="https://www.symphonybythesea.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Symphony by the Sea</a>. 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.
The 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.

Join 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.
Each 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.
The 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.
PEM 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.

Within the past generation, journalism has been upended by the Internet and social media — and it’s still undergoing extraordinary transformation. Join author Julia Cooke for a discussion about Starry and Restless: Three Women Who Changed Work, Writing, and the World, a triple-biography that illuminates an earlier moment of journalistic transformation.
Martha Gellhorn, Emily “Mickey” Hahn and Rebecca West were three trailblazing reporters who transformed journalism while reinventing the possibilities for women of their times. In Starry and Restless, Cooke takes readers on these writers’ adventures and challenges throughout the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s, from Omaha Beach on D-Day to Japanese-occupied Shanghai through Cuba, the Congo and the Nuremberg Trials.
In their lifetimes, these three writers were “the targets of near-continuous criticism, scrutiny, gossip, and, occasionally, praise.” Now, their legacies are illuminated by their own writing and letters in this extraordinary, globe-trotting triple portrait.
PEM Curator Trevor Smith will moderate a discussion with the author.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/145334/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>

Join us for a one-hour guided gallery tour in Spanish of Edmonia Lewis: Said In Stone. Get insight into the works on display and engage in conversation with guide Jenny Beauchamp-Ankney.
Come back on select Sundays for a new gallery to explore.
About the exhibition:
Born in Greenbush, New York in 1844, Lewis became the first sculptor of Black and Indigenous (Mississauga) descent to achieve international recognition. Beginning her career in Boston in 1863, she traveled to Rome in 1866 to join the leading American sculptors of her generation, breaking international, racial and gender barriers. Her vivid, naturalistic stone sculptures feature abolitionists and social reformers, engage with Indigenous identity, and give new life to religious and mythological figures.
Discover the first museum exhibition of its kind to gather the full range of Lewis’s art alongside works by her contemporaries and the generations of artists she influenced. Together these objects foreground Lewis’s life and work within her worlds and reveal her true mastery of marble.

Acompáñanos durante una hora para realizar una visita guiada en español de Edmonia Lewis: Dicho en piedra. Aprende más sobre las obras expuestas y charla con la guía Jenny Beauchamp-Ankney. Vuelve a visitarnos los domingos seleccionados para explorar una nueva galería.
 Acerca de la exposición:
Nacida en Greenbush, Nueva York, en 1844, Lewis se convirtió en la primera escultora de ascendencia negra e indígena (mississauga) en lograr reconocimiento internacional. Inició su carrera en Boston en 1863 y, tres años más tarde, viajó a Roma para unirse a los escultores estadounidenses más destacados de su generación, derribando así barreras internacionales, raciales y de género. De carácter vívido y naturalista, sus esculturas en piedra representan a abolicionistas y reformistas sociales, abordan la identidad indígena y vuelven a dar vida a figuras religiosas y mitológicas.
Descubre la primera exposición museística de su tipo en reunir todo el espectro de la producción artística de Lewis con obras de sus contemporáneos y de las generaciones de artistas a quienes influyó. En conjunto, estos objetos destacan la vida y obra de Lewis dentro de su contexto y revelan su verdadera habilidad para trabajar el mármol.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/147572/t/tickets" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">View Tickets &amp; More Info</a>
