ABOUT US:

“A modern-day Gertrude Stein” (Four Seasons Magazine), Vica Miller, the author of Inga’s Zigzags, launched the Salons in the Spring of 2009 at her Manhattan apartment. Since then, the chamber reading series has evolved into a respected literary event hosted by major New York City art galleries, including Susan Eley Fine Art, Ceres, Mimi Ferzt, Carini Lang, and Fridman, featuring some of the best writers of today. The Salons are held bi-monthly, take place at a private gallery and seek to present new work from serious witers and poets, with the ultimate goal of supporting the literary arts. http://www.vicamillersalons.com

Susan Eley Fine Art was founded in the spring of 2006 by Eley as a salon-style gallery. Situated in an Upper West Side Townhouse in Manhattan, the Gallery offers an intimate, personal viewing experience, contrary to the more formal presentations of art in typical white box galleries. Eley opened the Gallery to attract a new, untapped audience for contemporary art and to provide regular gallerygoers with a fresh, alternative way to enjoy art. The Gallery focuses on contemporary art by emerging and mid-career artists, who work in a range of media, from paint to photography to sculpture and print. Solo and group exhibitions showcase abstract as well as figurative work from a diverse body of artists from the U.S., Asia, Latin America and Europe. Gallery artists are dynamic, active professionals, who produce strong bodies of work that constantly shift and evolve. http://www.susaneleyfineart.com/
