The show, Salon des Inclusivit, is a play and positive take on the Salon des Refuss:

"In 1863 two thirds of paintings presented at the Paris Salon were refused, including the works of Courbet, douard Manet, Camille Pissaro and Johan Jongkind. The works which didn't align with the Emperor's traditional tastes we're upon protest shown in another part of the palace as the "Salon des Refuss." The critical attention served to legitimize the emerging avant-garde in painting."

Second OPENING Reception: Thursday, December 18th, 2014, 7pm - 11pm

If you are one of the 120 artists showing, plan to arrive early for the opportunity to tell guests a little about your work and art practice. Everyone in the room will be encouraged to partake in the critique.
