What are Salonistas???
We are a group of artists most of whom have exceeded their freshness date, but we are still alive and doing fairly well the last time we checked. Most importantly we are still creating new and exciting artwork, music, writing, photography, sculpting and film making.
About 11 years ago a couple of us had the idea of forming a group in the grand style of Gertrude Stein and her Paris salon. At the beginning of her tradition the group she formed was made up of outsider artists who had not yet become rich and or famous.
In that same light, none of us are rich or famous either, yet we live to create. We meet twice monthly (now on Zoom) to share our work, talk about our art and exchange ideas.
We encourage each other, help each other, and trust each other to be kind, gentle and honest. We call ourselves The Salonistas.
