Gallery tips for Marblehead

How the regulars do Marblehead's galleries:

• Don't rush the video work at Salem Art Gallery. Video installations need their full runtime. Sit down, give it the minutes it asks for.
• Small galleries take risks at Galleries at LynnArts. Artist-run spaces show the work the big institutions won't. Some of it's baffling; some of it's the future.
• Kids are welcome (usually). Most galleries are fine with children; the contemporary ones especially. Call ahead if you're unsure.
• Check for artist talks. Talks, walkthroughs and panel discussions are often free and turn a good show into a great evening.

Good to know

We searched about 15 km around Marblehead — that covers the town itself plus the surrounding communities you'd reasonably drive to. Listings come from OpenStreetMap, mapped by local volunteers, so a brand-new art gallery in Marblehead can take a while to appear. If you spot one of the 2 that's closed, or a great art gallery we missed, the fix is to update the map itself — that's where this guide reads from.

We don't review exhibitions — shows change too fast. What we list is the where: real galleries, verified by real mappers.

If you run one of the 2 listed here and something's wrong — a closure, a move, new hours — the fix is the same: update the shop on OpenStreetMap and the correction flows through to this page on the next daily refresh.
