Conjuring & Incantations

With the magical Fall season just around the corner here in Salem, we are preparing for one of our most anticipated exhibits of the year. What art have you conjured up? What incantations have been part of your creative process? Yes, it is once again time for the Salem Arts Association showcase of Salem, Fall and Halloween inspired art. All media that are the results of your conjuring and incantations are welcome.

Please Note: As has always been the case, this is an open call, welcoming non-member artists to submit their work. However, this year our gallery space has been reduced from past years, due to the loss of one gallery on the second floor and the small gallery on the first floor. Hopefully the small gallery will be back soon, once repairs to the building are made, but we don’t have a timeline yet. We will do our best to include all the work submitted at take in. But because of this, we may not be able to display everything and will need to put the work through a jury process by the Exhibitions Committee.

  • Opening Reception: Friday, September 12, 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM
  • Show dates: Saturday September 13 through Saturday November 1, 2025

    Our Guest Juror: Gretchen Sinnett

    Gretchen Sinnett is an Associate Professor of Art History and former Chair in the Art + Design department at Salem State University. Her courses explore how art and visual culture both reflect and help shape the societies from which they emerge. She believes that close looking and visual analysis benefit students in all disciplines and especially enjoys teaching courses that draw students from across the university. Her scholarship focuses on representations of girlhood and adolescence in 19th-century American art. She lives in Melrose with her husband and son, who just graduated from college, plus two bossy Siamese cats.
