Educator Appreciation Mural Across Street

Appreciation and Gratitude for Salem's Educators!

In October 2020, Salem and North Shore artists were invited by the Salem Public Art Commission to submit proposals to design and create a mural in honor and appreciation of the many teachers and educators of Salem.

Among many talented and thoughtful submissions, Salem artist Anna Dugan was selected to install her creative vision to show community support.

The mural location was originally planned to be installed on the wall of the underpass Sargent James Ayube Memorial Drive at the March Street Overpass. However, it found a new home on the retaining wall at 309-311 Highland Ave, the intersection of Swampscott Road outside of Town Fair Tire, after the generous sponsorship by the property owner.

A Special Thanks to the our sponsors: Salem Public Art Commission, Peabody Essex Museum, Centercorp Retail Properties, Inc., and Town Fair Tire Co.

"This is the kind of project that ignites a fire in me because it directly gives back to the place I live. I believe in the power of community and this is the exact kind of project that allows art to strengthen bonds within us."
