All are invited to Salon Night at PLATFORM…

PLATFORM is pleased to announce the continuation of Salon Nights as part of our outreach initiatives.

… and even further pleased to announce the following Salon Night will be hosted by Rosalie Favell

Salon Nights are open to all members, no registration required. Come-one-Come-all! They are free evenings of informal critique and feedback where members can bring in their art projects for discussion.Whether you wish to present or not, you should come out to add to the dialogue and see what other artists have going on in their studios. Each session is hosted by a different local or visiting artist who will facilitate discussion and weigh in with their own experience.
