2018 SCNY Centennial Exhibition info

“In 1917 the Artists and Patrons of the Salmagundi Club decided to purchase the brownstone building at 47 Fifth Avenue as their permanent home. Some of the greatest artists in American history contributed paintings to an Art Sale to help fund that original purchase. This art exhibition is in commemoration of the original show one hundred years ago, that allowed this club to purchase it’s current home.”
