SAHBA SALONS
Sahba Salons is a nomadic community and event series that brings together intrepid artists, scholars, scientists, and thinkers to celebrate and uplift the work of diverse and often under-represented creatives. Events are hosted approximately four times per year in Sahba's Palo Alto and Palm Springs studios and typically feature a talk by a featured artist, writer, performer, or thinker followed by an open conversation. Through the lively exchange of ideas and support, Sahba Salons strives to be a catalyst for passionate individuals to realize their vision and inspire us all along the way.
For the past several years, I've hosted SAHBA Salons at my Palo Alto art studio, bringing together those who love art and the art of good conversation with some of the Bay Area's most creative + inspiring thinkers and doers.
This marked my inaugural San Francisco SAHBA Salon at Minnesota Street Project, where my new solo show, ethereal landscape, was on exhibition at Themes+Projects gallery.
