Juried Exhibition & Art Sale

"Painting Now" is an exhibition "Salon" style, which refers to hanging as many pieces of artwork on the gallery wall as possible, i.e. filling the space from top to bottom as opposed to a hanging one single row of artwork.

This exhibition style has a history. "Salon" with a capital "S" was the title of a formal art exhibition sponsored by the French Académie des Beaux-Arts. This annual show exhibited at the Louvre in Paris beginning with Louis XIV and opened to the public in 1737.

"Painting Now" is free and open to the general public.
