Meibohm Fine Arts enjoys the opportunity with the Winter Salon to display a diverse selection of works in varied mediums and subject matters including recent vintage acquisitions and new work by some of our featured artists. This is an “off the wall” exhibit, works sold will be replaced allowing for an evolving presentation. Some of the exhibited artists include, Monica Angle, Jozef Bajus, Ray Bonilla, Nancy Treherne Craig, Jane Foley Ferraro, Robert Flock, Rix Jennings, Chris Liberti, Joe Orffeo, Eileen Pleasure, James Sedwick, and Martha Visser't Hooft, to name only a few.
What is a Salon and where does the term originate from? In 1725, exhibitions were held in the room called the Salon Carré at the Louvre in Paris and became known simply as the Salon. This later gave rise to the generic French term of 'Salon' for any large mixed art exhibition. Salon also refers to a style of displaying art. If you have spent time in museums or galleries lately, perhaps at the newly reopened AKG Art Museum, there's a good chance that you will have seen an exhibition hung “salon-style”, a term that refers to groupings of art that extend higher and lower than the traditional eye-level single row or “museum-style” hanging. An art salon can also refer to an artful conversation, a support group or meeting of artists, writers, curators, and collectors.
