The Plagiarists to Present SALON 45: TIME - THE BEGINNING AND END OF EVERYTHING

Descended from the Old English sele, or "hall", the word SALON has come to mean a gathering designed to entertain and enlighten (from BUST magazine). The events reached their "apogee" during the 17th and 18th centuries in French aristocratic homes. There were rich and plenteous foods, there were games and glamour, music to engage in and these events were of course also "binges of bon mots, banter and verbal and artistic prowess, intellectual orgies." Salons were incubators of ideas that started with conversations.

It is with that spirit in mind that The Plagiarists present their annual Creative Salon This season's Salon, Salon 45: TIME - The Beginning and the End of Everything, takes place at what has become The Plagiarists' Salon home, the Black Rock Pub, on October 17 and 18. Admission is FREE.

The gathering of artists offers work that spans genre and influence. They share pieces inspired by the theme of TIME. If you have ever thought about how little time you have left in a day, or how much time you have to wait, if you have ever reminisced about times gone by, or contemplated what might transpire with time, if you have counted minutes or day dreamed away hours, then this SALON, curated by Plagiarist company member Sara Jean McCarthy, is the perfect way to spend your TIME this Monday or Tuesday.
