Winter Salon is a new yearly event organised by the Laurent Delaye Gallery and its second exhibition in Ramsgate. This year the Winter Salon takes place at the Vinyl Head Gallery in Addington Street, from 4 to 29 November 2020.
Because of the Covid-19 national lockdown affecting Britain, this first edition of Winter Salon is extended online until 20 December 2020.
There was a time when public Art exhibitions came to change the course of history, and the 19C had plenty of them. As Victorian Ramsgate was basking in the glory of prestige and elegance, monocles in London were dropping at the daringness of the new moderns, while in France the art of the next century was made amid riots and editorial calls for arson. In this spirit, and in view of the present circumstances, we think it really is time for the opening of a Winter Salon in Ramsgate. Starting small, and in one venue, we anticipate that by the next years to come, the whole town will be the stage of an art revolution spreading like fire.
