Gallows Hill Artists is located in a historic warehouse in Salem’s Gallows Hill neighborhood. Our creative space features two floors of original post and beam interiors reminiscent of its factory roots. Just steps from Proctor’s Ledge, this historic location overlooks the site of Salem’s infamous 1692 hanging of 19 innocent people. The warehouse was originally built around 1900 as one of Salem’s great tanneries, The Arthur J Mulholland Company, and remains as one that survived the Great Salem Fire of 1914. This building is one of the only remaining tannery buildings in Salem.
Additional local artists will join our artist market.
