Salon Limited Editions - The Exhibition

For one night only, Salon is having a private selling exhibition of signed limited edition prints at Nincomsoup in central London on Saturday 25th April at 7pm. 

The prints, made on light-fast Somerset Velvet Enhanced paper, feature a selection of images of contemporary 2D and 3D pieces made by deaf and hard-of-hearing visual artists during Salon activities over the last three years. 

Profits from the sales will be split between Salon and the artists who made the original pieces, except in cases where the artist has specified for all profits to be reinvested in Salon. Framed and unframed prints - either A3 or larger - will be on display, along with order forms that buyers can fill in and return on the spot along with their payment (cash/cheques only). 

Free drinks and nibbles available. 

As the venue is small, capacity is limited and we will have a guest list on the door. Those who RSVP to melissa@salonart.org.uk before 20th March 2009 will receive full venue details including a map. 

Closure of paid membership scheme

We have decided to close our paid membership scheme this month. We did not make progress in our fund-raising and partnership work and cannot continue producing The Lounge at this time. We are also no longer accepting new subscriptions.

We understand that members may be disappointed and would like to offer a full or partial refund to those who did not get their four issues since renewing/starting their subscriptions. If you’d like one, please let us know on melissa@salonart.org.uk

Salon is proud to announce the launch of the first ten limited-edition photographic prints drawn from our archives.
