“Continues to bewitch, dazzle.”
Salon–TheIntersectionofArt+Designbegan in 2020, when the world came to a stand-still and hosting an in-person event was impossible. In an effort to create a unique experience, like the fair itself, a printed magazine was produced which, not unsurprisingly, stood out against the flurry of digital and virtual fairs. The magazine was a resoundi ng success as a platform and reference guide for our international exhibitors and partners and marked the beginning of this exclusive, annual publication.
Now published one month prior to the November fair, the print edition of Salon–TheIntersectionofArt+Design is mailed, at no cost, directly to the homes of 24,000 international collectors, interior designers, and architects. The digital version of the magazine receives an average of 500,000 + impressions. The print edition is available for sale online as well as gifted to visitors at Salon Art + Design, November 9–13.
