SalonThrive, a Digital Gathering Space for Creative Discussion
Kehler Liddell Gallery, and ArtEcon Initiative, present: SalonThrive, a virtual gathering place for art discussion and discovery on Sundays at 5:00pm on the Zoom platform. Each episode features a different local CT-based artist host, broadcasting live from their studio. All who log-on and gather 'round will have the opportunity to explore the artist's studio, their work, ideas and influences, in an intimate and unique studio backdrop.
SalonThrive finds its inspiration from the gatherings of the Paris Salon that began in 1667 when people — usually most from the creative sector — were invited to come together to exchange ideas in the Salon/Studio of the host. This 2020 version of the salon offers inclusion and accessibility to all interested in broadening their conversation about the arts.
Each event is free and open to all, though registration is required. RSVP HERE: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwud-GqqTojEtTmD2SDaM18foh782NbsUq8.
