Salons
A salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host. Salons are held partly to amuse one another and partly to increase the knowledge of the participants through conversations.[1]
Originating in Italy and flourishing in France throughout the 17th and 18th centuries, the salon broke down social barriers and provided a way for women to gain an education.
Perhaps the best-known salons were those hosted by Gertrude Stein almost a century ago for artists and writers like Pablo Picasso and Ernest Hemingway. Stein’s famed Parisian Salons are experiencing a rebirth, all over the world—including Maine.
Based on the belief that writing and art belong to all people and merit discussion, Your Write Mind®‘s Salons are intimate social gatherings that bring people together for the purpose of exchanging ideas, making connections, and celebrating writers and artists.
Our vision is to form partnerships with writers and artists for the purpose of nurturing a community where people gather to discuss art and literature.
