We cannot portray what it means to be human without confronting the inseparable relationship between our identity and body. It's the way that the world recognizes us. Yet the body is never fixed - be it through the passage of time or of our own accord. In an age where cameras are omnipresent and life is increasingly broadcasted online, we have never been more cognizant of being watched or of watching ourselves.

When you observe the works in our Humans26 exhibition, we implore you to ask: When your body changes, who do you become? Is there a little bit of you that transforms every time, or are you still the same after all?

📆 Screening "Mrs. Miniver" next Friday on Jun 5th, 6PM

This warm and engaging US-made melodrama follows the lives and travails of a seemingly storybook-happy, middle class, British family. It is set in a small village in the days before America joined with its European Allies to fight in WWII.

It was both a huge patriotic and commercial hit. The highest grossing US film of 1942, it won 6 Academy Awards. Winston Churchill praised the film as a “serious and effective work of propaganda: more powerful to the war than the combined work of six military divisions”. Interestingly, Wyler began shooting the film in November 1941, just weeks before the attack on Pearl Harbor. The film was released in June 1942.

We programed this film to coincide with the the 82nd anniversary of D-Day, the Allied invasion of June 6, 1944.

Salmagundi Club's Junior and Scholarship Committee's mission is to give back and help fresh faces as they navigate their way into the art world. One of the committee’s signature efforts is their annual junior exhibition - this year, titled "Bold Strokes" and currently on display in our gallery. True to the exhibition’s name, the works are bold with large swathes of color blocks and character-defining shapes

In a city of constant hustle and bustle, sometimes, one may want to retreat into the self. Some of the artworks in our Humans26 exhibit convey a sense of hiding as a condition of contemporary life, against the daily pressures of attention and performance.⁠

Sometimes, this comes out in subtle ways as you carry on with your day. After all, the show must go on. Perhaps a hint of a thin veil hangs around your words, or perhaps you fade unnoticed into your surroundings. When you retreat, what does that look like?

Why Albert Bard is more important today than ever! There are still spots left!

This Thursday evening at 6PM, Andrew Berman, Executive Director of Village Preservation, will be in conversation with Anthony C. Wood, historian of New York City’s preservation movement and author of "Servant of Beauty: Landmarks, Secret Love, and the Unimagined Life of an Unsung New York Hero" (Bloomsbury, 2025). Together, they will explore the legacy of Albert Bard (1866-1963), grandfather of NYC’s landmarks law and civic advocate extraordinaire.

Bard’s life is instructive, inspirational, and at times, seemingly incredible. From battling Robert Moses and the Outdoor Advertising Association of America to drafting and achieving the passage of the Bard Act (NYS’s enabling legislation that is the legal basis for NYC’s Landmarks Law) the conversation explores the relevancy of Bard’s life and legacy to today’s preservationists as they confront the challenges ahead.

Spots are still open for this Tuesday's Clothed Model drawing & painting session on May 26th!

Step into the 60s — model Mackenzie will be dressed in vintage 1960s fashion, and the night will be set to the era's most iconic tunes. If desired, go beyond observational study by experimenting with character and narrative through costume!⁠

🔗 This event harkens back to the Salmagundi Club's earlier days as the New York Sketch Club where artists gathered to study in good company. To learn more and RSVP: https://salmagundi.org/2026-clothed-model-may/

📅 May 15 - May 31⁠

Figure drawing is one of Salmagundi’s oldest traditions, tracing back to the organization’s earliest days as the New York Sketch Club. Continuing this tradition, our Club has long hosted monthly Drink & Draw’s, Costumed Model sessions, and annual figurative drawing / painting competitions.⁠

Over the years, participating artists have created not only lasting memories but incredible work from these gatherings. Beginning today, we will be holding a figurative exhibition that showcases the artists who have been an active part of our local community and the depicted muses who have brought their initially blank canvas to life.⁠
