📅 Thu, Sep 10 at 6:PM
Our ever-popular Eleanor Sypher returns with another of her art history talks next Thursday.

Introducing Diego Velazquez (1599-1660): Trained in Seville, in 1623, he was called to Madrid to paint a portrait of King Philip IV and from then on, only Velazquez could paint the King. His style, therefore, is seen as Aristocratic Baroque. His brushwork and drawing in the royal portraits and in those of the court buffoons becomes broader and more fluid. Velazquez visits Italy twice and paints the Pope. His painting now has evolved to sparkling and free. He unites space and atmosphere in foreground and background, always painting the light.

📅 September 1 - September 25⁠
🎉 Reception on September 17 at 6PM⁠
⁠
While our other exhibition "Pairings: Score & More", takes a close look into the growth of each of our individual artist members across decades, our exhibition of "Recent Works by the Membership" is a current snapshot of the collective: simply new work freshly made by artists who are actively engaged in their practice.

Together, these works form a portrait of the Salmagundi Club membership as it stands right now. Walk through this exhibition and take in what a community of artists that has been making work and evolving for over 150 years looks like. Within a historic landmark that has been home to artists since 1917, this exhibition is the latest chapter in a story that shows no signs of ending.

📅 September 1 - September 25⁠
🎉 Reception on September 17 at 6PM⁠
⁠
"Two is better than one." New exhibitions starting tomorrow! In "Pairings : Score & More", artworks come in pairs with each pair representing the life of an individual artist. Salmagundi Club members were encouraged to select one current work alongside one from 20 or more years prior. Each older work is a time capsule which holds a younger self who saw the world differently than they do today.

Every newer work holds a mirror to who that younger self would eventually become. The pairings here are as unique as the artists who made them. Through the creation of art, we manifest a tangible visual of how a person changes over time along with the marks they make on the world.

As our SCNY Non-juried summer exhibition comes to a close, we reflect on the works that have lingered with us. Across these artworks, the sun emerges as both a prominent subject and an atmospheric force within the landscape. It shifts and defines each detail, altering our experience with each piece.

Each artist approaches light and movement in their own way with varying compositions and brushstrokes. Through different landscapes, we are called to pause within these moments of illumination and not only consider what the sun allows us to see, but how it shapes the way we perceive the world around us.

Today is the last day to experience the works from our Non-juried summer exhibition. We hope you’ll linger between the galleries and take in the thoughtful work of our artists. Our galleries close at 6 PM, so please join us before then.

We have some good news to share.
In just a few short summer weeks, more than 65 donors have contributed $16,920 to the Salmagundi Club’s Board Matching Fund Challenge. We’re now more than halfway toward the $30,500 needed to unlock the full Board match.

To everyone who has already contributed, thank you. The response has been a wonderful reminder of how much this community cares about Salmagundi and its future.

Now we have a chance to finish what we started. Every gift of $25, $50, $100 or more will be matched dollar for dollar by members of the Board until we reach our goal.

With so much momentum behind us, we’re extending the campaign through midnight on Tuesday, September 8.

Help us close the gap and Meet the Match. 💪

The sails come down, and the vessel settles into stillness…⁠
⁠
As the summer continues we’d like to share another sailing scene from the Club’s permanent collection for our final summer Curatorial Highlight: "Sailboats" by Arthur James Emery Powell. ⁠
⁠
Title: [untitled, Sailboats]⁠
Artist: Arthur James Emery Powell⁠
Year: 1913⁠
⁠
Sailboats is one of three paintings by Powell in the current collection. The work won the Charles Vezin Prize in 1913. That year, the prize-winning works were purchased by the Vezin, only to be returned to the Club in order to fulfill Vezin’s “desire to enrich the Club and honor these artists by placing their work in a more conspicuous place than my home.”⁠
⁠
This particular scene invites viewers to take in a moment of quiet on the water. With its sails lowered and lines secured, the vessel is at rest. Although rendered in a more abstract style, one can make out the larger, rigged vessels in the background. Through broad strokes of color, and a rich palette, Powell uses these vessels to bridge the boundary between sea, and sky. ⁠
⁠
Looking at "Sailboats" invites one to pause and reflect on the quieter aspects of a journey, and appreciate the beauty that emerges from the interaction between human craft and the sea. ⁠
⁠⁠
A special thanks to former curator Bob Mueller who shared his insight on this work’s place in our permanent collection⁠.

For this month's Mystery Book Club, we will be discussing "The Queens of Crime" by Marie Benedict.

It's London, 1930. The five greatest women crime writers have banded together to form a secret society with a single goal: to show they are no longer willing to be treated as second-class citizens by their male counterparts in the legendary Detection Club. Led by the formidable Dorothy L. Sayers, the group includes Agatha Christie, Ngaio Marsh, Margery Allingham and Baroness Emma Orczy. They call themselves the Queens of Crime. Their plan? Solve an actual murder, that of a young woman found strangled in a park in France who may have connections leading to the highest levels of the British establishment.

Inspired by a true story in Sayers’ own life, New York Times bestselling author Marie Benedict brings to life the lengths to which five talented women writers will go to be taken seriously in the male-dominated world of letters as they unpuzzle a mystery torn from the pages of their own novels.

To miss this would be a crime.

Movement is powerful. It allows us to shape what is implied and capture moments that might otherwise be fleeting. Whether expressed through mark-making or in observing the motion of our everyday lives, movement is a defining part of how we experience the world around us. While motion itself may be brief, the impressions of each gesture have the ability to resonate with us.

In our current “Non-Juried Summer” exhibition, artists have exercised the opportunity to reinterpret prominent moments in their lives, allowing movement to endure the passing of time.

🗓️ Reception happening TOMORROW on Wednesday, August 19th, 6PM
