Refusés of the Bay: Opening Soirée
September 30th
8:00 PM 11:55 PM
Metal Haus Gallery and Voss Gallery present “Refusés of the Bay,” a collaborative art project of two curated exhibitions by Bay Area artists whose work was inexplicably overlooked by the jurors of
“Refusés of the Bay” is a tribute to the 1863 Salon des Refusés, which showcased rejected artwork from the highly acclaimed Paris Salon, featuring a staggering two-thirds of the submitted work that was not initially chosen. This renegade art fair included emerging works from James McNeill Whistler, Édouard Manet, Camille Pissarro, and other world-renowned artists whose careers took off after the show.
This year, the de Young Museum received over 7,700 submissions to its triennial open call for community artists and fewer than 900 were selected. To narrow the gap, Voss Gallery and Metal Haus Gallery are partnering to provide platforms for the work of other exceptional local artists to be shown.
Join us Friday, Sept. 29th, 6-9PM for an Opening Reception at Voss Gallery followed by 2nd opening Soiree at Metal Haus Gallery at 8PM. Both exhibitions will be on view through October 28, 2023. Voss Gallery hours are Wednesday-Saturday, 12-6PM or by appointment. Metal Haus Gallery
