Salon des Refusés
Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition | Brooklyn, New York
September 21—December 22, 2024
In 1863, the Paris Salon held its annual exhibition of academic arts. Thousands of artists applied but were rejected and were unable to display their work in the official Salon exhibition. It was determined that their work did not fulfill academic standards of the time. Emperor Napoleon III, who wanted the public to make the decision, organized a simultaneous exhibition of all the rejects in the Palace of Industry. This exhibition included artists such as Manet, Cezanne, Pissarro and Whistler. The exhibition of “rejects” became famously known as the Salon des Refusés 1863.
It is with this in mind that the Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition welcomes Brooklyn artists who have received the rejection notifications from the highly anticipated "Brooklyn Artists Exhibition" at the Brooklyn Museum, to exhibit in our gallery...as it was then...let the public decide.
