The "Salon des Refusés 2024" will feature over 200 artists rejected from the Brooklyn Artists Exhibition, continuing a historic tradition of showcasing overlooked talent.
Janet Morgan, co-curator of the exhibit, reflected on the poignancy of the term "Salon des Refusés," highlighting how many artists immediately expressed disappointment after not being selected.
The original Salon des Refusés in 1863 was a revolutionary turn in art history, providing a platform for prominent artists like Manet and Cézanne, who faced initial rejection.
Inspired by the original Salon des Refusés, BWAC aims to highlight the creativity of those often sidelined in prestigious art exhibitions, fostering a culture of inclusion.
