Black & White Exhibition

“Update”, charcoal on paper, 11″x14″

The Salmagundi Club is proud to announce its historic Annual Black and White Exhibition. Three charcoals by Seth Harris will be included in this show which is a juried members’ exhibition of black and white or monochromatic sepia drawings, graphics, photographs, paintings, and sculpture by artist members. 

The first 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” has taken place yearly since then.

The show will be in the Upper Gallery at the Salmagundi Club located at 47 Fifth Ave. New York, NY and will run from February 23, 2021 – March 12, 2021. Gallery Hours are Tues-Friday, 1-6PM and Sat & Sun 1-5PM. The building will remain closed on Mondays until further notice.  Face masks are required and social distancing measures are in place.

Out My Window Exhibition

In the face of COVID, the Salmagundi Club challenged it’s membership to provide artwork for an online only exhibition.

“Opened or closed, a window is a transparent barrier that places the viewer apart from what is viewed. What’s seen is filtered by the viewer’s mindset into perceived reality. Every artist has his/her own particular way of seeing real or metaphoric. The artist’s own image may be reflected back to him too, somehow detached from its environment, inviting a more spiritual and less physical translation. The artist’s interpretation of the image may be influenced by current circumstances, beautiful memories, or simply a vision of feeling made visible. What do you see Out Your Window?”
