Salon 50 at the Salina Art Center is back for a second time.
Stop by the Art Center, 242 S. Santa Fe Ave. to view and purchase works from invited Kansas artists. Salina Art Center Executive Director Misty Serene said 70 percent of the profit made when a piece of art is sold goes to directly to the artist who created it.
"Come down and see what amazing talent is coming out of the state of Kansas," Serene said. "We always look to the coasts for what is great, but we have proof and documentation on our walls right now that there are amazing artists living and working in Kansas."
Salon 50 is your chance to view, purchase, and collect the best fine art in Kansas! Diverse works from 50 invited artists are up for sale. Thirty percent of the profit will go to support programming and exhibitions at Salina Art Center.
Hung salon-style, this exciting experience showcases a spectrum of expression. You are sure to find the perfect piece for your home or office. Salon 50 features fine artwork in painting, printmaking, mixed media, photography, jewelry, ceramics, sculpture, and fiber. You can also view works for sale by visiting www.salinaartcenter.org.
"We're just so proud to have this opportunity to represent them and to hopefully engage people in starting to collect fine art and unique art from people that made by their neighbors," Serene said.
Salon 50 is on display through October 15.
