Anon Salon is a nearly monthly party/event/performance that celebrates all that's eclectic and electric in Bay Area art, design, and media performance activity. Anon Salon goes where it will to do what it must. Anon Salon is moving into its tenth year, though its roots go back through Climate Theatre to South of Market gallery and Glashaus parties of the mid-80's.

Anon Salon showcases artists and work that are reflective of a very broad spectrum of expression. In these convergent times, the task before us is to become as inclusive of diversity as possible, and to seek out the highest common ground. This is a purpose that the Bay Area art and new media scene is uniquely well suited to fulfill. In the megaverse of human possibilities, analog and digital paths melt together in much the same way that fate and a great groove merge on a dance floor. Anon Salon changes the house rules on just what makes a party good.

As you follow the pARTy path, conversations blend together, and faces go swimming by. Familiar faces yes, interesting faces, yes. Faces that freely exercise their range of options. -faces that if you only knew a little more, would surely yield up something interesting. These are faces that know something about free-lance life, work, art, and pleasure, about men and women, and something even about an imperative to excellence. Who is who? Who is anybody? Who the hell cares? It's a party. Fine art and found art, videophones and finger paint, digeridoos and radio-controlled MIDI floors, spoken word poetry and a life drawing class, all have their place in the larger mix.
