Salon des Refusés 2024 - 2, the Extension
SATURDAY NOV 2 to Dec 22: Salon des Refusés 2024 -2
Due to all of the enthusiasm of the show from visitors and artists we've decided to do it again with Salon des Refusés 2024-TWO. If you missed our Salon before show this is your chance to see it.
The Brooklyn Waterfront Artists Coalition presents an extension of our very own Salon des Refusés 2024
We announced an open call for the Salon des Refusés 2024 exhibit earlier this year for artists who received a rejection letter for The Brooklyn Artists Exhibition. The response and good will we received was so too tremendous that we’ve decided to refresh the exhibit and extend it.
The original Salon des Refusés took place in 1863 when the Paris Salon held its annual exhibition of academic arts. Thousands of artists applied but were rejected and were unable to display their work in the official Salon exhibition. It was determined that their work did not fulfill academic standards of the time. Emperor Napoleon III, who wanted the public to make the decision, organized a simultaneous exhibition of all the rejects in the Palace of Industry. This exhibition included artists such as Manet, Cezanne, Pissarro and Whistler. The exhibition of “rejects” became famously known as the Salon des Refusés 1863.
Nov 2 to Dec 22 Saturday and Sunday 1pm to 6pm
In our Second Floor Gallery called Bay 100
Opening Reception: Saturday, November 2, 1pm to 6pm
Transformation of Clay
This exhibition explores the distinction between movement and fragmentation through the observation of the environment.
The exhibition opens Sat Nov 2.
The second solo exhibition of BWAC’s fall season features Bill Shillalies with a presentation of ceramics entitled Transformation of Clay.
The work explores what Shillalies calls “the distinction between movement and fragmentation” through the observation of the environment: the changes of seasons, rock formation, and natural earth.
Both the practice of making objects and natural forces exert influence on the finished pieces.
Gallery Exhibition Dates: Saturday, Nov 2 – Sunday, Nov 24, 2024, weekends 1‐6 P.M.
In the Ground Floor Gallery.
Opening Reception: Saturday, Nov 2, 2024, from 1‐6 P.M.

"Cojones" is one of the most versatile Spanish's words. In this context, the meaning and impact of such a phrase would be lost if translated into literal English. But what a perfect phrase to describe what we want, BOLD, FEARLESS, and full of NERVE watercolors. As the Spanish phrase suggest with guts and panache, "CON COJONES.”
