The Salon

2007 Exhibition: Artwork

The Salon featured artists who submitted work to the Common Thread exhibition but who were not selected by the jurors. We felt there was some very interesting work that didn't make it in, so we created a show specifically for those artists. It was inspired by the famous Parisian exhibition the "Salon des Refusés."
