2022 Lineage

Are you part of an artistic lineage? Artistic education has been passed down from
master to student over many generations. Since 1871, The Salmagundi Club has been an integral part of keeping that lineage alive for teachers and artists all over the region and world. This exhibition seeks to illuminate the interconnected generations of artists as masters and students that have made Salmagundi vital for 151 years. Did you receive artistic training or mentorship from teachers in this lineage? If you have had teachers who were or are Salmagundi Artists, or were trained by former Salmagundi artists and other Realist Masters, we would like to feature your work to show how visual art thrives in a community that shares knowledge and creative values.

In this exhibition, on view November 20 - December 10, 2022, we will show historic works by William Merritt Chase, NC Wyeth, and Leon Gerome with contemporary masters teaching and working today. This exhibit will be open to Salmagundi Artist Members, and invited guest artists painting and sculpting in any media. This exhibition will be featured in Salmagundi’s Gallery and website, as well as on many social media platforms, and work will be for sale (NFS work can be submitted). The Parlor Gallery will highlight historic works, and the Skylight Gallery, for contemporary and recent masters.

To submit work for this exhibit, artists must submit jpegs of work for exhibition, and also submit a one paragraph (150 words max) detail of their training and mentorship lineage (trained under, student of...). If you are currently teaching, please list your school and area of expertise.

The club will receive a customary 30% of all sales. 70% to the artist. For non-member artist sales, the club receives a 40% commission / 60% to the artist. Works must be removed immediately after the exhibition. A return postage paid shipping label must be provided by the artist, if the work is to be shipped back after the exhibition.

After acceptance, works being shipped must be sent in reusable shipping boxes for art, with the name of the exhibition on the outside of the package, and a return shipping label provided. Salmagundi members get 10% off Air Float boxes. Artists who do not utilize reusable shipping boxes will incur a $35 unpacking / packing charge.
