Art on Main<\/a> presents Salon Style<\/a>, a small works exhibition on display at the Lakewood Branch Library from July 10 to Sept. 19, open during the library\u2019s usual hours. All art is created by Art on Main artists. The exhibition showcases the talent and diversity of their East Dallas community, featuring paintings, mixed media, photography and more.<\/p>\n The exhibition, inspired by the grand European salons of the 17th and 18th centuries, has embraced the traditional salon-style hanging, where artwork is displayed from floor to ceiling rather than in a row, according to a press release. The result is a more visually-engaging layout that encourages viewers to stay, make discoveries and appreciate the relationships between works of art.<\/p>\n \u201cLibraries have become so much more than places to borrow books \u2014 they\u2019re increasingly serving as cultural gathering spaces where people can discover local artists in an approachable, everyday setting,\u201d Art on Main owner Andrea Lamarsaude said in an email to the Lakewood\/East Dallas Advocate. \u201cSomeone who might never walk into a commercial gallery can stumble upon original artwork while visiting their neighborhood library.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cJuliet of the Spirits\u201d by Pam-ela Harrelson. Photo courtesy of Art on Main.<\/p>\n Artists in the exhibition are Andrea Lamarsaude, Brooke Aston, Candice Lindsay, \u00c9milie Lamarsaude, Emily Lamberty, Jacque Forsher, Karen Jacobi, Laurie Mahoney, Monica Cowsert, Natalie Lammers, Pam-ela Harrelson, Sheila Cunningham, VET and Yesenia Mejia Urieta. Viewers can support the artists further by purchasing their work.\u00a0<\/p>\n While individually each artwork tells its own story, together they create a portrait of the artistic talents in East Dallas today, according to a press release. Visitors are encouraged to slow down, explore the exhibition, and make connections between artists, ideas, colors and mediums.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cUntamed\u201d by Jacque Forsher.
