This Salon is an opportunity for artists to come together to revel, ponder and chat. It's a chance to share our work and our thoughts. It is a place to foster new ideas, broaden perspectives and to meet other working artists. Guest visitors and speakers will be encouraged to help ignite dialogue. We may: share and discuss articles, books, exhibitions and techniques. But mostly it is a place to talk about our art and what it means to be an artist today.

Great art spaces in Seattle
Hi Salonistas.
Craig and I just returned from Seattle. Aside from the beauty that is our 2 year old grandson, we were excited to see two great photo shows. We were excited about these two very different art spaces:
Pacific Northwest Photography Center
This was a great little space for our photographically inclined friends. We caught the last day of the "Vivian Maier: Out of the Shadows" exhibit. This woman was a nanny for 40 years who took pictures of everyday life, with a haunting twist. She never printed a single one. Her 10,000 negatives were discovered and are now being exhibited around the country.
The space was intimate, very accessible, in a super fun neighborhood and was really energetic and filled with people. You could tell that it attracted a nice audience of folks who care about photography. The woman at the front desk was very open and helpful.
Zelda, Karen, Craig should send a proposal now!
Henry Art Gallery
This is a fabulous museum/gallery at the University of Washington in Seattle. They have an impressive permanent collection and interesting and varied exhibits in all mediums. We flipped out over the exhibit "Out [o] fashion". The space was beautiful.
Karen: This place has the perfect room for your installation. I mean it. There was an interesting video projected in a great space that you could walk through or observe from above. This is a place that you should push like crazy to get into. It was meant for you!
OK. Back to work!
