Salon du Musée

Saturday, October 16, 7:00 pm

North Building

Salon du Musée is modeled after European art salons of the late 19th century and serves as a public forum for promoting the exchange of ideas and passion for art among artists and viewers. Salon is produced by Salon d’Arts, Inc., a Colorado non-profit. In addition to a compelling exhibition, Salon du Musée is a fundraiser for the Denver Art Museum with all net proceeds benefiting the institution.

With works selected by the Denver Art Museum’s curators, the exhibition and auction will feature vetted and significant artworks from each genre. Each department curator will invite three artists to each submit three works resulting in an exhibition of more than 80 one-of-a-kind works ranging in value from $1,000 up to $100,000. The exhibition is a unique opportunity to see the breadth of the museum’s collections represented through new objects from each genre.

Reservations are required and available at www.blacktie-colorado.com after September 1, 2010.

All net proceeds benefit the DAM. For more information, visit www.salon-d-arts.org or contact Carmel Koeltzow at 303-941-5872 or carmelkoeltzow@hotmail.com.
