about @Salon

Founded in 2011, @Salon is an interdisciplinary event welcoming artists and arts enthusiasts to come together for conversation, poetry, spoken word, music, sound, performance, visual and digital art.

@Salon hosts live and virtual events. For the live events, in addition to featuring renowned local and regional artists, @Salon includes presentations and discussions of works-in-progress using Liz Lerman’s Format for Critical Response—a format for feedback that affords the artist an active role in the dialogue.

Long a sponsor of @Salon, Obsidian: Literature & Arts in the African Diaspora, edited by Duriel E. Harris, has taken up the mantle to host and curate this beloved annual event. Obsidian’s @Salon welcomes Black writers and artists and their allies to come together for conversation and exchange.
