love lines

Our love lines exhibition and program took place during August 2023

Which kinds of love, through which creative lines, require our urgent attention, rapture, reflection, reimagining, curiosity, laughter and compassion?

The Salons returns to the Chrissie Cotter Gallery with love lines, a boutique program of art-after-hours experiences curated to respond to the theme of love.

Connecting artists and community to celebrate the joy of the arts in daily life, our love lines program features a diverse ensemble of over 20 established, emerging and student artists working and playing in the worlds of poetry, music and the visual arts.

The word artwork experiment

The Salons love lines exhibition introduces our word artwork experiment, with artists and poets collaborating to create new works.

Writers were invited to submit new, unpublished words that speak to the theme of love lines. Artists were given the words to create visual artworks.

The result is an explosion of creativity, showing the ways in which art infiltrates and transforms an idea. We invite you to see, interpret and, in some cases, touch and play with these new works, which cover the gamut of love’s meanings.
