The Canal Street Art Gallery’s Spring Salon brings this classical way of showing art into the contemporary. The art show is inclusive of all art. The opportunity to exhibit is open to the public. The Spring Salon celebrates the abundance and diversity of art created by artists everyday. Artists of all career levels, experience, and with or without formal training, exhibit their artwork.
The Salon, which was popular in the 19th century, can offer the public a unique chance to view art from many more talented local and regional artists than a typical modern group show. At their start, one of the goals of the original Royal Academy Salons was to provide venues where artists, including emerging artists, could show their work and garner patronage. The historic way of installation means art is hung closely together on the wall, with sizes and artists interspersed throughout the exhibit. Before the contemporary gallery and art fair, it was also common in Europe and America to hang both museum and private collections in the floor-to-ceiling manner.
Canal Street Art Gallery is at 23 Canal St., in Historic Downtown Bellows Falls, Vermont, and is open Tuesday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
