THE SALON

Celebrating a Dynamic Array of Female Artists

HOSTED BY THE PEABODY ESSEX MUSEUM & SWEET RICKEY

On behalf of the Peabody Essex Museum, Sweet Rickey and OH! Art Agency we are delighted to present, The Salon - An exhibition featuring 24 female artists. The curation of this show is an expression of connection, conversation and collaboration. An artful counterpoint to the global tonality we are currently experiencing.

Art harnesses the unique power to bring people together. The 24 artists highlighted in this exhibition each elicit a distinct point of view, communicated through different mediums. Joining us from Chile, Iran, Haiti, Mumbai, Japan, Cuba, Lebanon, Massachusetts, NYC and beyond. They are also at different stages of their careers - from the quixotic student to the established sage. The dedication to their practice and insistence on communicating through art is what brings us all together.
