The Salmagundi Club will be hosting “Botticelli Night” which is an event organized by Seth Harris, who is an advisor for the programs committee. It will be a special Botticelli themed figure drawing/painting session in honor of the artist’s 480th birthday! A nude model will pose in a manner reminiscent of Simonetta Vespucci (the famous renaissance muse). This will be a single pose session allowing artists to use long format media such as oils or watercolors. The lighting will be set up to mimic Botticelli’s Birth of Venus composition.
“A Tragic Read”, oil on wood panel, 12″x16″, $1,250
“A Tragic Read” is on display now through September 27th at the Salmagundi Club as part of the Human Beings exhibition. Visit Salmagundi.org for more info.

The Salmagundi Club is proud to announce its historic Annual black and white exhibition. This show is a juried members’ exhibition of black and white or monochromatic sepia drawings, graphics, photographs, paintings, and sculpture by artist members.
The first Annual black & white exhibition at the Salmagundi Club took place in 1878, only a few short years after the Club was formed. It provided a rich catalogue of the artists of the day, and interestingly enough, exhibitors did not originally need to be members to participate.
As the public’s interest in illustration grew, these exhibitions provided artwork for a variety of purposes, and many of the works initially shown in these shows went on to be published in the burgeoning magazine market of the late 19th century. The black and white exhibition has taken place yearly since then.
Salmagundi’s Annual black & white exhibition remains a beloved Salmagundi tradition as artists capture dynamism and vibrancy through the simplest of palettes. Peering through a lens of black and white, Salmagundi Club’s member artists present finely-tuned styles and techniques in a variety of media. Gallery visitors return for the artistry, the warm sense of nostalgia, and the wide breadth of works on view.
“Pinning” has won a Bronze Medal in the 92nd annual members show at the National Art League. This show will be on display until December 3rd. You can find out more information on this show through the NAL website.
The original oil painting, “The Dog Beach” will go up for auction on October 22, 2022 at noon as part of the annual Fall Auction at the Salmagundi Club. Click here for more information, or to bid.
