The Salon Model
Critical Review & Acquisition
Once a month, artists submit work for review with our independent art critics. Selected works are then acquired for Salon’s reserve before they are exhibited. This means that each artwork has already passed through a layer of review, commitment, and care before it reaches the collector.
Curated Exhibition Drop
Frequent micro exhibitions are each shaped by a new guest curator, telling a new chapter in an ongoing story told through artu2014capturing a mood, a question, or a response to the moment. Collectors are invited to experience a distinct point of view and discover how individual works can come together to create meaning.
Collected With Confidence
Salon is designed to help collectors build thoughtfully over time. Because every artwork shares the same square format and signature frame, together with Salonu2019s u2018exchange at any timeu2019 policy, works can be compared, acquired, arranged, and rearranged with ease as a collection, and its collector, evolves with every new discovery.

How exhibitions work
Salon’s recurring online exhibitions are designed to create a more engaging and manageable collecting experience. Each exhibition includes a small group of original artworks selected from the Salon reserve and shaped by a guest curator. The exhibition is live for a limited time, and each work is available as a one-of-one acquisition.
If a work resonates strongly, we encourage collectors not to wait too long.
Our exhibition launches take place on the last Thursday of each month at 6pm Paris time a good moment to pour a glass of wine, browse the new selection, and secure the work you want.
Past exhibitions remain visible as an archive, allowing collectors to follow the evolution of Salon’s programme over time.
