Peabody Essex Museum
he mission of the Peabody Essex Museum is to celebrate outstanding artistic and cultural creativity by collecting, stewarding and interpreting objects of art and culture in ways that increase knowledge, enrich the spirit, engage the mind and stimulate the senses. Through its exhibits, programs, publications, media and related activities, PEM strives to create experiences that transform people’s lives. PEM is one of the nation’s major museums for Asian art. It presents the earliest collections of Native American and Oceanic art in the nation. The historic houses and gardens, and American decorative art and maritime art collections provide an unrivaled spectrum of New England’s heritage over 300 years. This summer, Cape Ann Plein Air and PEM collaborated to bring CAPA2021 artists to workshops on the famed Derby Wharf to lead workshops for artists of all levels and abilities. In two days more than 50 artists gathered to watch John Caggiano and Susan Lynn demonstrate their plein air talents, and then created paintings of their own. This collaboration is an important one and CAPA is thrilled that PEM has chosen to partner with us in such a meaningful way.
