    Small Worlds: An exhibition by James Cennamo

    With a background in cartooning, James started creating these shadow boxes recently. As an editorial cartoonist for newspapers on Nantucket Island, where he lived in the 1980s and 1990s, James earned awards from The National Newspaper Association, and The New England Press association. From pop culture and historical events, to the Beatles, Kafka and Star Trek, for James nothing is out of bounds for the Small Worlds in these shadow boxes. 


    On Display May 24 through June 28, 2025

    Paul Nathan Gallery


    We're proud to host the largest collection of Paul Nathan artworks in the world. Nathan's unique process starts with acrylic paintings which are then photographed and composed as collage creating a whimsical and wonderful world uniquely their own. 


    Paul Nathan has occupied this location since the mid-1980's and through his generosity and vision as an artist Salem Arts Association enjoys presenting our galleries in this space with Paul.
