Salon Arlington is an event where local artists are asked to display their work in an informal, intimate setting and to give a 10-20 minute talk on whatever they feel will help the audience understand their process, the influences that have guided them, why they do what they do, how they got started, what they do with the art (sell, hobby, etc) or anything else they want to talk about. The event is held at Village Sweet Bakery located in the Westover neighborhood of Arlington, VA. Your audience will be 30 patrons who come to experience your art. Drinks and baked goods are provided.
Participants are asked to present for free. Artists are welcomed to bring pieces or reproductions to sell, but all business is done directly between the artist and the buyer. You are allowed to bring one guest for free and you are encouraged to tell and invite your friends to attend.
Past participants include visual artists, musicians, jewelry designers/makers, a clothing designer, photographers, a comedian, an author, a furniture designer/maker and paper cutters. Each Salon features four artists and the event runs 3 hours on a Saturday evening (6:30 – 9:30pm). If you are interested in participating in a future Salon event, please fill out form below. We have events every other month and are currently look for participants for future events. Check out past event pictures on our Facebook page.
