The Canal Street Art Gallery’s Spring Salon installs art closely together on each wall from floor-to-ceiling, with sizes and artists interspersed throughout the exhibit. At their start, one of the goals of the original Royal Academy Salons was to provide venues where artists, including emerging artists, could show their work and garner patronage. The Spring Salon is inclusive of all art with the opportunity to exhibit open to the public. The goal of the show is to celebrate the abundance and diversity of art created by artists everyday, showing all career levels, experiences, and creative activities from artists with formal, informal, or self study and practice in art.
