Salem Oregon’s Vibrant Performing and Visual Arts Community
The cultural arts scene in Salem, Oregon is rich with history and is one of our best kept secrets. It is here where you will find beautiful galleries, top notch theatre, music, and dance performances.
We take great pride in our local venues – like the Pentacle Theatre which is nestled in the woods, or the historic 1926 Elsinore Theatre located just a few blocks away.
The award-winning Salem Senate-Aires Men’s Chorus has been entertaining audiences throughout the Pacific Northwest for more than 50 years. In addition to the Senate-Aires are the respected Oregon Symphony, Salem Chamber Orchestra, Salem Concert Band, and the Salem Pops Orchestra, to name just a few.
Our acclaimed galleries and museums such as the Hallie Ford Museum of Art and the Salem Art Association’s Bush Barn Art Center are a must see, along with independently owned galleries such as Mary Lou Zeek and others that feature an exceptional array of work.
During your next visit to Downtown Salem, we hope you will take some time to explore and experience for yourself, the talented artists who make up our vibrant and active arts community.
