Kehler Liddell Gallery , and ArtEcon Initiative , present: Salon Thrive, a virtual gathering place for art discussion and discovery on Sundays at 5:00pm on the Zoom platform.
Kicking off with Gar Waterman on Sunday, May 3rd, each episode will feature a different local CT-based artist host, broadcasting live from their studio. All who log on and gather 'round will have the opportunity to explore the artist's studio, their work, ideas and influences, in an intimate and unique studio backdrop. 

Participation is free and open to all, but RSVPs are required.

KLG has an energetic starting lineup of hosts with each episode on Sunday at 5:00pm: 
May 3: Stone carver, metal sculptor, and one of KLG's founders, Gar Waterman.
May 10: A double exposure of photography with husband/wife team, Penrhyn and Rod Cook
May 17: Painter Frank Bruckmann digs through a few layers of paint in his latest work
May 24: Artist Ana Henriques mixes it up with multimedia work in her home studio. 

SalonThrive finds its inspiration from the gatherings of the Paris Salon that began in 1667 when people — usually most from the creative sector — were invited to come together to exchange ideas in the Salon/Studio of the host. This 2020 version of the salon offers inclusion and accessibility to all interested in broadening their conversation about the arts.
