Artist Salons

The Artist Salon is an informal series of social gatherings in which a rotating selection of artists share brief presentations with the public and their artistic peers hosted by Rafael Sarria. Each salon hosts a featured musician, visual artist, poet, dancer, author or creative person of any discipline. The Red Poppy Artist Salon just completed a series of successful events hosted at the Deyoung Museum in the Kimball Gallery as part of the Artist Fellowship program. These events are always free and hope to create a space where artists, performers and community members can come together and discuss, create and enjoy art. Past featured artists include Rupa Mayra, Rob Riech, La Gente, Maria Morrell, Karamo Susso, Santos Perdidos, Stina Da Silva, Maria Machetes, Justin Ancheta, Classical Revolution, Dogman Joe, Deejay Ryan, and too many to list here.

The Salons occur bi-weekly from 6-9pm and are always free of charge.
