PWP Salon d'Arts ~ December 2016 ~ Holiday Meeting

In the early part of the 20th century, Gertrude Stein and her brother Leo began collecting art and showcasing it at her home at 27 Rue de Fleurus in the heart of Paris.

People would casually stop by to chat about art. This organically evolved into a Saturday night salon with unknown up and coming artists including painters: Picasso, Matisse and Braque poets: Max Jacob, Guillaume Apollinaire and writers: F. Scott Fitzgerald, T.S. Eliot, James Joyce and Ernest Hemingway. The discussions by these great talents would help define modernism in art and literature.

PWP would like to bring back the spirit of the artist salon. Replacing the standard member work slideshow, we will be having an interactive meeting of artist work sharing.

 Artist’s to do list:

• Choose 3 images that you would like to share.
• Save these images as jpgs with a maximum of 5mb.
• Rename each of the new jpg images with a random, non-sequential, 4-digit filename ex: 0534.jpg, 3195.jpg, and 7862.jpg
• Email the three numbered jpgs to exhibitions.pwp@gmail.com by no later than Saturday, December 3, 2016. The earlier the better.
• Bring a flash drive with the 3 numbered jpgs to the holiday meeting on Wednesday December 7, 2016
•  

Festivities start at 6pm. Refreshments will be served.

Prepare to have a good time and enjoy our year-end holiday celebration.

Non PWP members are welcome to the event.
