What are the SOLOX events?

The art salon is only for really interested friends who wish to gather in private homes and public art and performance forums, both for the visual and performing arts, for an enjoyable intellectual and social pursuit ... to participate, to discuss, to enjoy ... private home sessions will involve pot-luck luncheon/brunch/dinner.

Examples:

Tour a local artist studio ... Glassworks, etc. ... go to lunch/dinner afterwords ... persian, indian, ethiopian, italian ... probably in adams-morgan ...

Visit a local gallery, for artists' interactive talks about their work ... Director at Studio Gallery would be an example with an exhibiting artist or two.

Attend theater and concert performances, with interactive sessions afterwords ... like this one on 13 Sep ... please see the attached and the announcement below.
