“The Salon” at ArtServe–FREE Local Artists Exhibition Through Dec. 28 

Local artists take center stage in The Salon, the new exhibition on display from now through December 28 at ArtServe, 1350 E. Sunrise Blvd. in Fort Lauderdale. The Salon features nearly 150 incredible and diverse works from 30 artists.

ArtServe members and resident artists eagerly await each year’s The Salon, which is known in South Florida’s art community as a place to connect with art talent scouts, who target the exhibit annually for up-and-coming talent. Some Salon participants in the past have used this event as a springboard to Art Basel.

This year’s exhibiting artists in The Salon are: Harriet Silverstein, Jill D. Lefkowitz, Zipporah Michel, Rosemary Fineberg, Daniela Sanchez Vegas, Fabio Arber, Cheryl Brown, Holly Diann Harris, Paul McDermott, Lori Pratico, Roseprimevere, DAK, Phoenix, Alexandra Fields O’Neale, Tedd Davis, RESQ 77, Alissa Christine, Sharon Kleiman, Helene Finkelstein, Anabel Rub Peicher, Twyla Gettert, Stacy Daugherty, Jacki Rosen, Nerissa Balland, Phoenix Niewidok, Marco Caridad, Alex Strelkow, Deborah Strelkow and Marilyn Johansen.

A free reception from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, December 4 kicks off the opening of The Salon. The hybrid indoor/outdoor event will feature food trucks, a cash bar with pre-packaged snacks, live music by D.J. Diesel and “Electric Violinist” Stephen Neil, a virtual reality art performance by Alissa Christine and a live painting session with exhibiting artist RESQ77.  Parking is free.

ArtServe continues to observe all COVID-19 hygiene best practices, including limiting groups indoors, social distancing, hand sanitizing and mandatory mask-wearing for the safety of guests, artists and staff. Access to the gallery will be maintained at a limited capacity, with groups and guided tours running at ten to 15-minute intervals.
