The Salon Salon: Floor to Ceiling Art at the Ackland

Join Carolina Public Humanities and the Ackland Art Museum for a gathering that will foster deep thinking and conversation – a salon – through a guided viewing of Color Concentrated: A Salon-Style Show from the Robertson Collection. Color Concentrated displays paintings in the salon style, hanging in rows that extend from eye level upward, nearly to the ceiling of the gallery.

We’ll learn how the salon hanging tells the story of changing museum trends, from the seventeenth century to the present. Featured presenters include Ackland director Shalini Le Gall, deputy director for curatorial affairs Peter Nisbet, head of university programs and academic projects Elizabeth Manekin, and Nathan Marzen, head of exhibition design and installation.

Space is limited; tickets are required. The $65 ticket includes admission to the program, wine, and hors d’oeuvres. Click here to purchase your ticket today!
