Most of you know, we don’t usually record Story Salon. You have to be in the room where it happens...

But this time, we were gifted something special… a beautifully edited video from Modat Productions (thank you Amy Scott!) and we couldn’t say no.

This was our biggest, most electric night yet! Sold out at the Montclair Art Museum, packed with incredible energy, celebrity storytellers, music, art, and so much love.

If you’ve ever wondered what a Montclair Story Salon feels like… this is your chance.

Three weeks ago tonight… And we are already feeling nostalgic

So let’s “bring it back” for a moment::

On February 12, Story Salon at the Montclair Art museum brought together an extraordinary lineup stories, music laughter, and that magical feeling that happens when a room full of people lean in to listen together. Still so grateful to the incredible artists who shared the stage: DMC, Warren Zanes, Dagmara Dominczyk, Casey Carpenter, Negrsh Mountain, Ted Papoulas and Janice Belove.

Huge gratitude to the audiences who keep showing up, to the Museum for being a nonprofit partner that truly understands the power of storytelling and to the sponsors who make these gatherings possible. I couldn’t do it without you. And as we look back at these beautiful photos, we’re already dreaming about the next one. If you might be interested in supporting the next event, we’d love to connect 
More stories soon ❤️
Thank you Todd Boressoff for the great pics!!
