🎟💞Pink Neon Sunday Salon 💞 🎟

Inspired by experiences at Louise Bourgeois’ Sunday Salons that ran for over 30 years and commitment to nurturing interconnection on a creative level. Portia Munson & Erika deVries are initiating Pink Neon Sunday Salons.  

“Our goals are; to hold space/a stage for Hudson Valley based & visiting artists to gather/gaze/admire be admired, and that we all leave the salon more inspired to make art and live creatively in our human condition.” 

Salons will initially meet seasonally (4 x a year) for two hour sessions.
