BE OUR HOST!
Artist x Artist Salons connect you with the most important artists of our moment. The Hirshhorn has invited leading artists for intimate conversations about artmaking, friendships, and influence. Taking place online between September 2020 and May 2021, each salon will feature contemporary artists in conversation with a Hirshhorn curator. We invite you to host an exclusive virtual salon with family and friends, much as you would a gala table, or attend the salons as a guest. Support for this series enables the Hirshhorn to keep artists at the center of the national conversation.
