Autumn’s Arrival.—Celia Liberace

The Autumn Salon

Rooted in the realization that the arts possess the power to restore a sense of beauty, mystery, and depth of feeling to the presence of our lives, the Autumn Salon serves to honor and support the timeless art forms of the world, and the artists who represent them.

Through a variety of live, recorded, and written mediums the Salon celebrates the works of artists defined not merely by social status or popular appeal, but through the inherent value and meaning they instill within us.

The Salons

The intimate atmosphere of the Salon offers a special opportunity to experience the arts as revealed by the artists themselves—whether seeing color through the eyes of a painter, hearing harmonies with the mind of a composer, or exploring fragrance alongside a master perfumer, we awaken and refine our senses, allowing us to more deeply experience and appreciate our everyday lives, each other, and the natural world around us.
