One of the great things about attending Salem State, is being a part of Salem, Massachusetts, especially if you have creative and cultural interests. In addition to the many cultural attractions and museums, including the world class Peabody Essex Museum, students can enjoy festivals celebrating all facets of artistic creation throughout the year. Coming up, March 4-10 is the Salem Film Festival at CinemaSalem, the 4th annual all documentary festival. And not only can students enjoy the many offerings of the Salem Arts Festival, but there are opportunities to perform or display artwork as many students, faculty and alumni have done in previous years. Salem Jazz and Soul Festival is a weekend party of performances in August at Salem Willows, and also a whole Summer Saturday Series in Derby Square. You can also find festivals for folk, new playwriting, open studios, and those are just the arts-themed celebrations. The list is long so venture off campus and browse downtown from local live theatre to art galleries to museums and put the Salem in your Salem State experience!
Silly me. I didn't even mention the Massachusetts Poetry Festival in May! Another awesome festival.
