SALON 2022 and Concordia at Kimball Jenkins

A Community Exhibition of Small Works

Kimball Jenkins will host the second annual open format SALON exhibition aimed at highlighting intersections of New Hampshire’s diverse and rich artistic community. Hung floor-to-ceiling, salon-style, Kimball Jenkins encourages experimental and off-beat work to be displayed. With more than 150 artists participating from 64 towns and cities, all works are under 10 x 10 inches, with an array of 2D and 3D submissions. The exhibition leads viewers through the landscape of art making in the region from poetry to welding, photography, painting, printmaking, sculpture and more. SALON celebrates the variety of makers in New Hampshire from professional to small scale entrepreneurs to hobbyists. All 386 works of art will be arranged by guest curators, Mike Howat and Fallon Rae in the Carolyn Jenkins Gallery.

The exhibition this year will run from November 6, 2022 through December 17, 2022, allowing artwork to be purchased in time for holiday gift giving. Several events are planned including a public reception on November 19, 2022 from 6:00 -8:00 PM featuring live music. A final holiday sale of artwork will be held December 17, 2022 at Kimball Jenkins, 266 N. Main St. Concord, NH, from 9:00 AM-12:00 PM.

In addition to the main gallery, young people and teachers from local schools have been encouraged to participate. A special youth gallery will allow for a community display of creative talent with opportunities for youth to attend the reception and meet with the curators.

A complementary second exhibition, Concordia, will be held in the Jill C. Wilson Gallery, curated by guest gallerist Katzman Contemporary Projects from Dover, New Hampshire. The show will feature contemporary artists from New Hampshire in the Victorian 1882 mansion. Artists in the Mansion will include Lauren Karjala, Jessica Parker Foley, Michael Andrew Phillips, Trevor Toney and Kevin Xiques.

Katzman Contemporary Projects is an independent artist run project space committed to featuring contemporary artists with a focus on the Northeastern US. The gallery bolsters emerging and mid career artists through exhibitions that will forge community, interest and dialogue.
