CultureHouse Salem

Open April 1st – June 30th

The City of Salem and CultureHouse have partnered to open a three-month-long community arts and culture pop-up hosted at Old Town Hall in Downtown Salem. CultureHouse Salem transforms the historic structure into a vibrant, connected, and accessible destination that supports local creatives. The short-term goal of this project is to activate this underused community resource and create a space for people to connect and engage with local artists and creatives. In the long term, this project serves as an incubator and testing site for future programming models for Old Town Hall.

What’s happening?

Community meeting

On February 17th, 2022 we held a community meeting for the CultureHouse Salem project. During this meeting, we shared updates on the project and gathered community input as we kicked of the design phase of the project. View the meeting recording at the link below.

Where we’re at

After taking in feedback from community surveys, the community meeting, and in-person canvassing activities, we are now in the operation phase of the project. That means the pop-up is now open! We invite the community to experience the space and participate in events. During this time, we are collecting data and feedback to see whether the pop-up is meeting community wants and needs.

Advisory group

We are working closely with the CultureHouse Salem Advisory Group, a team comprised of local artists, residents, and activists, to bring CultureHouse Salem to life. They advise us on everything and work to ensure we met the needs of the community.
