Miss B's Salons

Regular discussion events, chaired by 'Miss B', that bring together invited groups of artists, curators and interested parties to present and discuss their work and selected topics. They are frequently private and by invitation only, but are also held at public galleries. The first six Salons were supported by the Artquest Forum programme.
