Join us for an immersive installation in celebration of Salem Heritage Days! Following three special PEM Pals collaborations, Salem’s Public Artist in Residence Claudia Paraschiv continues to explore how children can contribute to culture. “The Tree of Care+Wonder: Through a Child’s Lens” imagines how a future city might take care of and bring wonder to its residents.
Catch us at PEM’s main entrance for an afternoon of performances and art making around the tree.
