Welcome

Welcome to the new website for Salon, the UK's only deaf visual arts development agency committed to supporting deaf and hard-of-hearing visual artists and aspiring artists.

For a summary, watch our showreel below:


Salon does more than just exhibit contemporary visual art by deaf people! What we do is professional development: giving deaf and hard-of-hearing people the opportunity, time and space to build new ideas, new skills, new confidence through

• collaborative activity e.g. art retreats
• deaf-led artist workshops
• schools outreach work
• practical skills training

Through working together, participants learn how to market themselves better, create more meaningful pieces of deaf contemporary visual art, and fund-raise for their own projects.

We work to boost the mainstream profile of deaf and hard-of-hearing visual artists through mutual partnerships with leading visual arts organisations across London and the South-East, including Tate, Modern Art Oxford, Stour Valley Arts and OVADA.

We often arrange preparatory Deaf Arts Equality Training for our partners, which not only enables them to practise a vital and innovative model of Deaf and Disability Equality practice in the arts, but also leands them a unique insight into Deaf Art and Culture and the rich contribution it can make to society as a whole.
