What is The Dirt Salon?

JAPANALIA presents @ The Dirt Salon
 (not to conflict with FIRST THURSDAYS, CREATIVE COCKTAIL @ RAW, etc...)
The Dirt Salon is in an old forge building that is already home to 3 artists and a landscape designer, Cindy Dodd, with an ever-fluctuating number of
 members.  The concept is to afford emerging artists affordable studio space while still in Hartford art schools, allowing an opportunity to hang around and make art even after graduating…sharing space/ideas with artists who are settled and are producing art here, like Anne Cubberly.
 There are 3 cavernous studios with high vaulted ceilings, and a mezz level (to house up to 6 more artists) that wraps around the 3 highest ceiling
 galleries...The common gallery is used for events and
 
 musical evenings, in much the same way as the JAPANALIA store is used for MUSIC @ JAPANALIA EIKO.  The small stage is on wheels and can be turned for theatre in the 1/2 round, as well as to face the center gallery where related performance can be included as well as seating for an additional 75 people OR a dance floor! There will be "salons" not unlike those of the legendary Gertrude Stein...poetry, book readings, plays/play readings, improv, parties, exhibitions, teaching, workshops, open houses at The Dirt Salon…but our musical events will be once or twice a month.
