According to Robert Atkins, "a salon is a social gathering of artists and intellectuals hosted at regular intervals by a patron in his or her home.  Such convivial settings for the art of conversation emerged in Paris at the beginning of the 17th century." CRC's Arts Salons will provide the arts community--not just artists but patrons and members of the business, funding, and general community--with a space and time to connect, discuss topics important to arts and culture, and share thoughts about your work. Arts Salons participation is by invitation only, so become a CRC Artist Partner or Communty Partner today to receive invitations to these events!
