"SALON DES REFUSES"
Exhibit dates: September 9th - October 14, 2005

A special exhibit of work refused by the Mayors Art Show:

Opening Reception: Friday, September 9th, 6:30 - 10:00pm

The 15th Annual 'Salon des Refuses" for artists whose works are rejected from the Mayor's Art Show hosted this year at the DIVA Center (Downtown Initiative for the Visual Arts,) located at 110 West Broadway, Eugene, OR. The event is made possible in part by a grant by the Lane Arts Council with the support from the City of Eugene Cultural Services Division. The Salon will start on September 9th, run though the Eugene Celebration and will end October 14th. Artists picking up rejected works from the Jacob Gallery will be greeted with leaflets inviting them to carry their works nearby to the site for exhibit in the Salon des Refuses.

The name and theme of the alternative show is taken from the alternative Salon set up by Napoleon III, in 1863, in response to artists protests about the restrictive nature of the jurying of the official Paris Salon which excluded some of the most experimental artists of the time: Gustave Courbet, Édouard Manet, Camille Pissarro, etc.

The public is invited to the Opening Reception, Friday, September 9th, from 6:30 to 10:00 pm.
