SALON NIGHT

SALON NIGHT NO. 1

Now accepting submissions for our December Salon Night!

-

SUBMISSION DEADLINE: NOV. 21

OPENING NIGHT: DEC. 13

WHAT IS A SALON NIGHT?

Gallery ATARAH's salon nights revive the tradition of intimate artistic gatherings that flourished in 18th and 19th century European salons—spaces where artists, writers, and thinkers came together to share work, exchange ideas, and build community outside formal institutions.

In a contemporary art world that can feel increasingly transactional, we're returning to this foundational idea: art thrives in community, and artists deserve spaces where their work can be seen, discussed, and experienced without the pressure of traditional gallery politics. Our salon nights showcase emerging and established artists in an intimate setting, blending contemporary work with carefully selected vintage and antique pieces to create dialogue across time.

We can accommodate work from small (6x6") to large (36x48").
For the December Salon Night, we're focusing on 2D work for the salon wall. However, we may include a few small sculptural objects on pedestals — so yes you're welcome to submit 3D work for consideration!
We're aiming for accessible pricing, generally $200–$2,000 per piece. You'll set your own prices for selected work, with advice available if you need!
December 9th is a hard deadline for installation. If you have a conflict, you'll want to make sure to drop your work off prior.
Artists are responsible for packaging and shipping sold work. The gallery will facilitate local pickups. Shipping costs are calculated separately by artist and paid by the buyer.
You'll pick up your work at the end of the exhibition (late January/early February 2026). There's no pressure for sales—this is about community, visibility, and creating a beautiful group show.
