Each salon met monthly beginning January 2019 for peer feedback and worked closely with a curatorial advisor assigned to their group.
Participating artists and curators included: Commentators: Paul Federico, Brad Terhune, Richard White, with Curatorial Advisor Emma Wilcox; Realists: Laura Brown, Terry Lively, Gregg Rosen, Marianne Trent, with Curatorial Advisor Katherine Murdock; Abstractionists: Bithika Adhikary, Christine Barney, Lisa Collodoro, Tharanga Goonetilleke, Stephen Krasner, Mollie Thonneson, Francesca Azzara, with Curatorial Advisor Enrico Gomez; Globalists: Pam Cooper, Donna Greenberg, Kerry Kolenut, Alpana Mittal “Tejaswini”, Nupur Nishith, with Curatorial Advisor Raymond Mingst; Story Tellers: Dorie Dahlberg, Maryann Ficker, Christy O’Connor, with Curatorial Advisor: Evonne Davis.
