The Satanic Temple | Salem Art Gallery
About
Set in a former funeral home, The Satanic Temple’s international headquarters in Salem also houses the Salem Art Gallery. Visitors can tour museum-quality artwork and artifacts, a library, and a permanent exhibit dedicated to witch-hunts, Satanism and moral panics. The centerpiece is an 8 1/2-foot bronze statue of Baphomet. The gallery promotes the work of emerging and established artists from around the world, combining exhibitions with artist talks, special events, screenings and interactive projects.
The headquarters opened to the public in 2016 in the former Dubiel Funeral Parlor. The Temple is a non-theistic religious organization with active chapters worldwide, and the building often hosts lectures, screenings, meetings and formal ceremonies, including weddings, unbaptisms, non-wedding ceremonies and funerary offerings. Recent exhibitions have featured painter Zach Brown, a Rhode Island School of Design graduate whose work pairs traditional techniques with themes of history, myth and mortality.
