“Salute” was formed in 1974 by a group of serious,
multi-talented artists concerned with promoting creative
services, skills, and talents for community enrichment.
Salute to Women in the Arts has supported the arts in
Bergen County for over 40 years.
The new exhibit, “What I Did Last Summer” reflects
the artists’ renewal process as fall begins. Members of
Salute have chosen their favorite work of wall art for this
diverse show. There are works in a variety of styles and
media including paintings, mixed media, and encaustic,
and works on paper. The artwork is for sale with a portion
of the proceeds being donated to the Y. The exhibit is free
and open to the public.
On Oct. 19, the Y and Salute to Women in the Arts will
host a reception from 2 to 4 p.m. All are welcome.
