The Annex
The Annex at the Bush Barn Art Center is a newly redesigned venue for learning about, creating and showing art. As a multi-purpose space, the Annex features a dedicated studio for an Artist-in-Residence program, and a separate space for art workshops, exhibitions and other programming which will evolve with the needs of the community. The building will also function as the new headquarters for the Salem Art Association’s Community Arts Education program, which serves two primary roles: to provide arts education and artist services.

Newly Redesigned
After a six year Access Art Project fundraising campaign and eight months of construction, the Annex at the Bush Barn Art Center reopened to the public at a special event on September 23, 2016. The unveiling of the space included the opening of an elevator connecting to the Bush Barn’s second-floor gallery. This new addition, along with other improvements, makes both buildings compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards for accessibility.
