"At this time in my life, I’m ready to accept or own a kind of romance and melancholy or melodrama that I wasn’t ready to reveal before. It was always there in my inner life as an artist, but I was too afraid to share it."
—Laurie Simmons

2012 Salon Series
The Art21 Salon is designed to revive the salon tradition, presenting intimate, one-of-a-kind cultural evenings. Each event presents a screening of an Art21 film followed by a lively conversation with the artists featured.
There are a number of ways to be a champion of Art21, ranging from direct gifts to the Annual Fund to purchasing tickets to our benefit events, to sponsoring a program or film. Art21 welcomes donations at all levels from supporters throughout the year.
As a nonprofit organization, Art21 relies on the generosity of foundations, corporations, and individuals whose own goals and values match Art21’s mission and vision. We are grateful to all those who believe, as we do, that contemporary art and artists are worthy of their investment. All gifts—whether $25 or $250,000—contribute to our success. Each contribution affords us the ability to provide award-winning programming and educational resources—year after year, for free—to students, teachers, and audiences around the world.
We invite you to join Art21’s circle of supporters with a generous gift and help us share the work and ideas of today’s contemporary artists with current and future generations of international viewers.
Art21 is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization. Your gift to Art21 is entirely tax-deductible to the full extent of the law.
