Not Selected for the Juried Student Exhibition this year?

Bring your rejected submissions to the Welch School's small gallery by 2pm this Tuesday (TOMORROW), and we'll include them in the 2009 Salon des Refusés!


Drop Off: between 9am and 2pm, Tuesday, March 31.


In homage to the amazing artists rejected by the jury of the official Paris Salon in 1863, we invite student artists whose submissions were not selected for this year's Welch School juried exhibition to participate in our own Salon des Refusés.

The Salon des Refusés, French for “exhibition of rejects,” most famously refers to an 1863 event that was actually sponsored by the French government. In that year, artists protested the Salon jury’s rejection of more than 3,000 works, far more than usual. As did Emperor Napoléon III, we wish to let the public judge the value of works not selected. In 1863, the public and many critics ridiculed the refusés, which included such now-famous paintings as Édouard Manet's "Luncheon on the Grass" ("Le déjeuner sur l’herbe") and James McNeill Whistler's "Girl in White."
