All of the events listed below are free and open to the public unless noted.

Over the past few months, Salem Art Association’s Marketing Advisory Committee has been working with designer Elizabeth Schrader to develop a new logo. This committee is lead by SAA’s Marketing Coordinator, Meaghan McGraw, and is comprised of marketing and branding experts including SAA’s Galleries Director, Catherine Alexander; Former Director of Publications at Southern Oregon University, Jim Brown; Web Designer, Phil Krug; and Professional Marketing Consultant, Rachel Bucci. This particular logo was chosen because it offers a recognizable face for SAA by using the Bush House Museum, the foundation for the Association, while the image of the tree represents our geographic location (Bush Park) as well as longevity and growth.

The design of this logo is contemporary and easily recognizable large or small. After this particular design was chosen, it was endorsed by SAA’s Board of Directors, SAA Staff, and SAA’s programmatic committees. For more information about this logo, please contact Meaghan McGraw, Marketing Coordinator, at 503-581-2228 x306 or at meaghan@SalemArt.org.

SALEM ART ASSOCIATION has a new logo!

Quiltopia Weekend, the first weekend in October, is a fundraiser benefiting Helping Hands Resources, a Salem based non-profit which provides clothing, bedding, and household items to our neighbors in need. Those purchasing a Quiltopia Passport can get their complimentary passport stamp at the Bush Barn Art Center. The Bush House Museum will be open from 1-4 pm with regular admission rates for a special viewing of the Stitch in Time: Rediscovering Heirloom Utilitarian Quilts exhibit and guided house tours.
