What is [LE SALON]?

(Le Salon)

"Le Salon"

is the world's oldest international public exhibition that has continued for over 350 years.

The Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture (currently the Institut de France), founded in 1648, was ordered by a decree of Louis XIV in 1663 to hold an exhibition of works by Academy members once a year. Decided. This was the beginning of "Le Salon". Currently held at Art Capital, a joint art exhibition of France's four major historical salons. Le Salon is an exhibition open to everyone, regardless of nationality or background, and every year many artists from all over the world apply, and the winning works are selected after a rigorous screening process. It is said that being selected for ``Le Salon'' is equivalent to being in the top 6% of the art world. Furthermore, as far as I can confirm, there are only five Japanese photographers who are members of the French Artists Association.
