We are thrilled to announce the new format for Salon du Musée. Following last year’s success, the Salon will be again be held in the Denver Art Museum (DAM) on October 16, 2010. The exhibition will feature artworks that reflect the diverse genres represented in the museum’s collection, including: Architecture, Design & Graphics; Asian Art; Modern & Contemporary Art; Native Arts; Painting & Sculpture; Photography; New World; Textile Art; and Western American Art.

With works selected by Denver Art Museum curators, the exhibition and auction will feature significant artworks from each genre. Each curator has invited artists to submit a select number of works, resulting in an exhibition of over eighty works ranging in value from $250 up to $100,000. The auction is a unique opportunity to understand the breadth of the museum’s collections represented through new objects from each genre, while adding to your personal collection with vetted curator selections.

The exhibition will be held from October 7th through October 16th with the artwork auctioned among hundreds of museum supporters at the lively Salon du Musée Soiree and Fine Art Sale on October 16th. The Presenting Sponsor is First Western Trust Bank, a long-term supporter of the exhibition. Event Chairs are Buck & Janelle Blessing.

Salon du Musée is modeled after European art salons of the late nineteenth century and serves as a public forum for promoting the exchange of ideas between artists and viewers. The Salon du Musée exhibition will be open to the public from October 7th through October 16th, 2010 during regular museum hours.

We look forward to celebrating Salon du Musée at the Denver Art Museum with you!

Warm regards,
