Join PEM for a multiday pop-up exhibition featuring artwork from Salem students in grades K-12. This celebration of student works includes drawings, paintings, photography, poetry, dance, video and more. Works will be displayed throughout the museum with Student Voice Project presentations and a panel conversation with an exclusive performance on Saturday, May 20.
See Me is an initiative through the Salem Public Schools Office of Public Relations that captures the district's core values of belonging, equity and opportunity through the expression of student voices. This public exhibition aims to share elements of how the young people of Salem see their history and how their cultures have shaped them. It explores how they see themselves walking through the world in the present and how they can influence the future.
Salem Public Schools is a diverse community that reflects countries, cultures and colors from around the world. See Me is a creative interpretation of students’ self-identity that brings its core values to life.
