Cloud Tree Studios & Gallery presents:

The 2024 Summer Salon Series

Similar to last year, our exhibition gallery at Cloud Tree Studios will be divided into 22 spaces, with each spot available to any and all interested artists.

In addition to our main exhibition gallery, we have decided to include our sister space, Cloud Tree Auxiliary, which will offer an additional 22 spots.


About The Series:

Our Summer Salon Series is a deeply special program, one that we believe serves as a dose of inspiration.

Participating artists –many of whom have never shown before– will have the opportunity to connect with a new community, foster their skills in installation and curation, and see their work on display at a beloved local gallery.

This series is lightly curated, as our goal is to provide exhibition space for emerging artists. We believe that by making art accessible, we can continue to keep the mission of this gallery alive.

My experience leading Summer Salon last year was one of the best creative moments in my career thus far. I met with 40 new artists in an 8 week period, many of whom I work with to this day. It taught me that there is a lot of great work happening in the city that I have no clue about. I think that is the reality every where in the world.

We learned so much in our first year of executing this Series, and I’m so excited for this year to be a little more smooth and organized. Cheers!
