“Salon” de Kuzu
SALON was a term that started back in the early 1700’s. between 1748 – 1890 Salon de Paris was the greatest annual or biannual art event in the western world. so why is it today when i named my fine art gallery/boutique Kuzu Salon that ALL i get are inquiries into if this is a hair or beauty salon? my guess is that the art world here in tucson, AZ is not familiar with the term, when i list events in our local publication they get so confused, no matter how many times i tell them they cannot grasp it! most listings end up reading “Kuzu Salon Gallery Boutique and Store”….a tad frustrating, but i suppose they are just trying to cover their bases..to be sure? at any rate here is our next event coming up!
i am pretty thrilled to have this couple coming to Kuzu! she is renowned for her scientific paintings in true details and colors…not to mention huge portrayals! if you are in the area please stop by to see this unique free event for the family! part of our sales through Kuzu’s gallery and Project Insect’s book sales will go back to our community to the Tucson’s Childrens Museum. if you can’t attend check out the artists website at www.projectinsect.com
Tucson Children’s Museum will also be present on Friday afternoon! http://www.tucsonchildrensmuseum.org/index.php
another new site i have stumbled upon for engaging kids of all size (ages!) is http://LandArtforKids.com/
two great ways to get yourself and others motivated to create and learn about your own environ.
side note: after this event we will no longer be using Salon…just listing under Kuzu!
