Salon Sundays

Explore Art in the Rivertowns this Spring with RiverArts’ Salon Sundays 

Salon Sundays invite visitors to tour local artists’ studios and gain an inside view of their work and inspiration. An exciting opportunity to gain insights into the creative process, learn about techniques in a variety of media and interact with artists here in the Rivertowns community.  In most cases, participating artists will be exhibiting works for sale so please consider supporting our community of artists through your patronage.

Salon Sundays are inspired by the French salons founded in the 18th century as a means for new and emerging artists to gather and show their works in large numbers. Artists filled the walls, floor to ceiling, exhibiting anything and everything for the public and each other. Salons drew intellectuals, writers, poets, sculptors, painters, printmakers, supporters, and those interested in engaging with the creative community.   

“French Salons became the starting point for many amazing artists – the Cezannes, Manets, Seurats and van Goghs. RiverArts is excited to amplify the voices of our Studio Tour artists as well as emerging artists living or working in our communities with our own version of this format, Salon Sundays.  We hope to give art lovers opportunities to explore these artists’ work in a “salon” setting with the artists, offering the potential thrill of a great new discovery behind every studio door.”  James Fuentes, Gallerist; Producer, Salon Sundays
