Creative Neighbors | Vecinos Creativos: Punto Urban Art Museum

Join us for an artist talk with Punto Urban Art Museum’s (PUAM) Creative Neighbors muralists to celebrate their work and strengthen the bridge between local artists and the museum.

The Creative Neighbors project brings in local and regional artists to create a series of murals in Salem’s Point neighborhood (El Punto). The theme for this year’s murals, “Raíces | Roots,” prompted the selected muralists to reflect on their heritage and the concept of being rooted. In addition to their large-scale murals, six of the muralists created accompanying canvas works for display at PEM.

This project is made possible by PEM’s partnership and is an official part of Punto Urban Art Museum’s Salem 400+ offerings. Canvases by six of the muralists will be on display in PEM’s Main Atrium from November 15–December 2, with potential remounts in 2026 as part of PEM’s Salem 400+ celebrations.
