The Salon (French: Salon), or rarely Paris Salon (French: Salon de Paris), beginning in 1725 was the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France. Between 1748–1890 it was the greatest annual or biannual art event in the western world. Since 1881 it was organized by the Société des Artistes Français.

Panmna Arts aims at reproducing some of the successes of the Paris Salon fusing the atmosphere and attitude of the original with 21st century technology and social media.

The first show will feature Damon Tommolino and will take place on the 16th floor of the Roger Smith Hotel in the newly built “Soularium.” Although it will not be the works of many students like in the days of the original Salon, Damon will line the Soularium walls with paintings from various periods of his career and experimentation. This will create a journey through the evolution of an artist.

Panman Arts in conjunction with Panman Productions will use social networks to generate proper buzz about the event. Hosting Damon’s portfolio on Panman Gallery allows for collectors, dealers, students, critics, artists and other curators to survey the work before hand with the option to buy any pieces pre-show.

During the opening and the closing, Panman Productions will broadcast a live feed of the party allowing professionals abroad a chance to interact through social media platforms such as Twitter, Skype, Ustream, and others. Clients and fans from all over the globe will have the opportunity to be present at this happening, being able to speak to the artist and other guests.

This is a brand new interactive initiative that will connect the various art bases of the world allowing the Panman Arts Salon Live to exist and collaborate on a global scale.
