Celebrating and supporting the arts in the Mid-Willamette Valley for 90 years, the Salem Art Association is one of the largest, oldest and most comprehensive arts organizations in the Northwest.

Today, you can visit the Bush House Museum, the grand and historic mansion built by Asahel Bush II in 1878. There you’ll see century-old technology as well as historic European and American art and artifacts. You can visit the Bush Barn Art Center to view exhibitions of modern art in our two exhibition galleries and purchase fine arts and crafts in our sales gallery.

Each year, SAA serves nearly 11,000 children, teachers, and parents in Marion, Polk and Yamhill Counties through its School Arts Education programs.

Our goal is to harness the power of the arts to enhance creativity, improve lives and foster a more vibrant and connected community. Join us in exploring the arts and local history – we’ll all be richer for the experience.
