Denison Arts Council Debuts Le Salon Des Artistes Juried Show This Fall

Le Salon des Artistes invites diverse styles in 2D, 3D, photo, jewelry & mixed media. All styles welcome. See Zapplication link for full entry details.

DENISON, TX, UNITED STATES, August 21, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Denison Arts Council is proud to announce the launch of Le Salon des Artistes, a juried art show premiering this fall in downtown Denison, TX. The juried exhibition and competition are inspired by the historic Salon de Paris, a series of prestigious exhibitions that began in Paris, France in 1667.

Known simply as “The Salon,” the original show helped shape the French and European art scene over several centuries. It represented the intersection of creative expression, government support, and institutional recognition, providing an important platform for both emerging and established artists. The Denison Arts Council aims to celebrate that same energy with its first-ever juried competition.

Le Salon des Artistes welcomes a wide range of artistic styles and expressions. This year’s show includes the following categories: 2D, 3D, Photography, Jewelry, and Mixed Media (2D and 3D). All stylistic interpretations are encouraged. The official call for art is open now, with entries due September 17 through the Zapplication platform.

"Le Salon des Artistes celebrates creativity and diversity in art, bringing together talented artists across multiple mediums. This juried exhibition honors the rich tradition of the original Paris Salon while showcasing fresh, innovative works that inspire and engage our community. We invite all artists to submit the work they feel best showcases their talents", says Cindy Salem from the Denison Arts Council.

This year’s competition includes awards totaling $2,500. Jurors for the show will be Susan Roth Romans and Jordan Roth of Ro2 Art Gallery, Dallas, TX. The show will also include a People’s Choice Award with open voting by all guests on Saturday, October 4.

The Salon opens to the public the first weekend in October and runs through November 15 at the 517 Gallery, located in downtown Denison, TX. The show opening will be held in conjunction with the annual Denison Fall Fest. For more information, please visit the Denison Arts Council via their website at www.denisonartscouncil.org.
