Seeking to inspire community, encourage cross-disciplinary learning, and deliver an opportunity for professional artistic development, three Salon groups met monthly to critique and exchange feedback regarding their art. Each group consulted with a curator-advisor twice for further conversation about the development of their work. 

This exhibition is a culmination of work done during the 8 month process. In addition a slideshow of the work can be seen here https://www.proartsjerseycity.org/videos/
