What is a Salon?

According to the Museum of Modern Art, the term ‘Salon’ as it applies to the art world, can be traced to 1667; when France’s Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture began to host its recurring annual exhibition at the Louvre’s Salon Carré. Over time, the event became known simply as the Salon.

In 1863 (per Britannica), the first Salon des Refusés featured the works of Impressionists that had been refused by the ‘official’ Salon. This new annual exhibition would lead to the 1884 founding of the Société des Artistes Indépendants; an organisation that would accept any artists’ works to their events. This same year, Henri Matisse’s ‘Bathers at Asnières’ (1883–84) would be featured in the Salon des Refusés after being rejected by the Royal Academy’s Salon.

Salons are a place for artistic expression, the discussion of new ideas and the meeting of creative-minded people. The Life Models’ Society runs its Salon as a three-day, four-session life-drawing event where our model members are the artistic focus. In the spirit of variety, our sessions include single-model, long poses and four-model-group-pose sessions. We hope there is something there for every artist!

Tickets are available to the Life Models’ Society 2025 Winter Salon at the link in our bio. We hope to see you there!
