“Refusés of the Bay” is opening September 29th, from 5-9PM at Voss Gallery.
The exhibition is a collaboration between Voss Gallery and Metal Haus Gallery, showcasing two curated exhibitions by exceptional Bay Area artists. These visionaries, inexplicably overlooked by the jurors of The de Young Open 2023, are now getting the recognition they deserve. Dive into the rich history of the 1863 Salon des Refusés, which showcased rejected artwork from the acclaimed Paris Salon. This renegade art fair propelled the careers of world-renowned artists like James McNeill Whistler, Édouard Manet, and Camille Pissarro.
In the spirit of this tradition, our exhibition pays tribute to the staggering talent overlooked by the de Young Museum's recent open call, which saw over 7,700 submissions but selected fewer than 900.
Dress to Impress: Channel the spirit of artistic rebellion and make a statement with your outfit.
View the Visionaries: Engage with over 80 Bay Area artists featured in the group exhibition as well as a curated selection of regional artists in the gallery's lower-level space [The Down Low].
RSVP Time Slots: For a seamless experience, we've designated 30-minute time slots from 5PM to 9PM. Secure your spot in art history – RSVP today!
The Celebration Continues: From 8PM till late, join us at Metal Haus Gallery for an evening soirée brimming with art, live music, and delightful drinks. Tickets required.
Both exhibitions will run through October 28, 2023.
Voss Gallery hours: Wednesday-Saturday, 12-6PM, or by appointment.
Metal Haus Gallery hours: Friday-Monday, by appointment.
