The Painting Salon began in someone’s living room about 3 years ago, and has since transitioned into a nomadic lecture series. Each month two artists present their work in different art spaces across the Bay Area. The original mission was to create a space for painters to meet and talk about work in a way that only painters do - color, surface, type of paint, a reference to giotto, etc. As the salon audience expanded it has opened up to artists of all media whose work references the history of painting or somehow engages a painterly visual language. With the nomadic venue and expanding roster of presenters, the Salon hopes to foster community by introducing new audiences to artists and artists to each other.
