About
Rooted in Salem aims to provide a platform for talented and inspired artists to showcase their work through monthly exhibitions. We host openings one Friday of every month, allowing art enthusiasts and collectors to engage with the artists and their creations. Our business model involves a commission-based system, where 60% of the sales revenue goes to the artists and 40% to the gallery.
