THE SURREAL SALON SOIREE
One of the most anticipated events of the year in Louisiana’s capital city! A night of art, live music, interactive experiences and so much more, The Surreal Salon Soiree is unlike any other night in the region. In 2022, the event will again have attendees channel their own pop-surrealist visions into unique costumes for this special night.
***we will be taking extensive measures to ensure that guests and staff are following safe COVID procedures.
In addition to enjoying the work of dozens of artists, attendees will enjoy live music, interactive experiences, and MUCH more. The Soiree will also see the announcement of the work selected as "Best in Show" for Surreal Salon 14 by Special Guest Juror Carrie Ann Baade.
