Art Salon Inspired by Parisian culture


Art Salon inspired by Parisian culture

Five emerging artists are gearing up to share their work with the world while supporting charity at the launch of an innovative exhibition concept.

Art Salon will be officially launched on Friday 30 November, at Lapart WallSpace,

26 Helen Street, Newstead, from 6.30 – 9.30pm. (Brisbane)

The launch will feature works from five visual artists, live entertainment from belly dancing troupe Tribal Blossoms and singers The Bare Truth, as well as an open bar.

The concept behind Art Salon is to bring together groups of emerging artists on a regular basis, with the aim of gaining recognition for their work while raising funds for charity.

Art Salon founder Michelle Bowden said reading about the famous art salons of Paris in the 18th Century inspired her decision to begin exhibiting.

“I plan to hold regular Art Salon gatherings showcasing different artists and supporting a different charity each time.”

Proceeds from the bar on the opening night will benefit the Leukaemia Foundation, who offers practical help and support for families affected by leukaemia.

Leukemia has touched the lives of three of the exhibiting artists who, as part of the St Anthony’s School community, recently suffered the loss of a popular young student to the disease.

True to the spirit of the Parisian salons, the first Art Salon will feature artists who work in a variety of mediums.

While the official launch is on Friday night, the exhibition will remain open Saturday from 11 to 2pm, and Monday 3rd and Tuesday 4th of December, from 9.30 - 4pm.
