Unexpected Connections

Dec 12, 2015

A happy coincidence inspired the perfect Arts Immersion Salon to close 2015

Exactly 4 years ago…Just months after moving to Beechwood, we decided to host our first ever Arts Immersion Salon, with no dining room table, no chairs, no way to hang art and no idea exactly what it would be! Our good friend Valentin Surif was in town to play at the Argentine consulate in NYC, so we invited him here, dubbed the Salon “Celebrate Argentina!” and curated art, poetry, film and Argentine food to the theme (and bought some chairs!)

The Salon was a hit and Beechwood Arts was born! Four years to the day, Valentin Surif is back, inspiring us to be spontaneous again!
