101st Annual Celebrate Salem Awards Dinner
The Salem Chamber of Commerce’s 101st Annual Celebrate Salem Awards Dinner will take place in the beautiful Atrium of the Peabody Essex Museum on the evening of Wednesday, April 23, 2025.
The program of the evening will include the presentation of the “Celebrate Salem Awards” in 7 categories. The process for the nominations and selection of winners is a two phase process. In the first period businesses and people were nominated, after which the Awards Committee selected 6 nominees per category. The second phase of voting, open to both businesses and residents, is taking place in March to select the winners.
The theme for this year’s dinner is the exhibit, “Saints, Sinners, Lovers, and Fools: 300 Years of Flemish Masterworks”. During the Renaissance, the region known today as Flanders in Belgium was home to visionary artists who developed radically new ways to depict reality, portray humanity and tell stories that continue to resonate with viewers today. PEM’s presentation of this exhibition also recreates a 17th century cabinet of curiosities — or wünderkammer — filled with precious porcelain and lacquer, seashells, stuffed specimens of animals (including an ostrich) and rare antiquities.
