Vitrine
June 19 - July 26, 2025
Salon Hang brings together eight female and non-binary artists who challenge the traditional role of the frame in Western art. Working across a range of craft practices, each artist has reimagined the frame, not as a boundary, but as a space for experimentation and creative possibility.
As well as somewhere to display paintings, the “salon” was a place where women came together to educate themselves. Salon Hang aims to connect women from various artistic backgrounds, using the frame and craftwork as symbols for collective solidarity.
