At The Wrong Gallery, the tradition of the salonnières is reclaimed not as an echo of elitist Parisian rooms, but as a space for conversation. Historically, bourgeois and aristocratic women excluded from public life created salons where art and ideas circulated outside official institutions, challenging hierarchies of gender and class. At the Wrong Gallery, this spirit returns in a contemporary, non-elitist form — open, intimate gatherings where thought and creativity meet without the gatekeeping of the market.

​

Salon events are free, but some are ticketed due to limited capacity.
