Salon des Refuses

The title of this show, “Salon des Refuses,” is taken from the 19th century series of exhibitions launched by Napoleon III, which gave radical artists their first official showcase in defiance of the annual Salon Juries of The Louvre, Paris.
“Traditional Textile Study” by Fran Schier-Potter The accepted works of the annual MCAC Juried Show will be on view at The Monmouth Museum. The two collections (accepted/ rejected) will be on view simultaneously in galleries that are right next door to each other.
