*Following
a tradition of over 130 years, Salmagundi Club continues to serve as a
center for fine artists from New York and around the country - providing
exhibitions of paintings, sculpture and photography, conducting art
classes and painting demonstrations and art auctions throughout the year.
All
this is done in an atmosphere of conviviality that encourages discussions
on art and other topics and leads to lasting friendships among both lay
and artists members. While members are mainly residents of new York,
Salmagundians are to be found throughout the United States and Canada, as
well as such faraway places as London, Amsterdam and Lisbon.
Originally
formed as the New York Sketch Club in 1871, the Club adopted its present
name a hundred years ago after Washington Irving published his potpourri
of wit and wisdom called "The Salmagundi Papers." The name also
serves as the club dining room's famous "Salmagundi Stew".
Through
the years the Club has been the singular gathering place for such great
artists as Childe Hassam, William Merrit Chase, Howard Pyle, N.C. Wyeth,
Charles Dana Gibson, Ogden Pleisner, Louis Comfort Tiffany, Stanford
White, John La Farge and many others. Honorary members have included such
luminaries as Sir Winston Churchill, Buckminister Fuller, Paul Cadmus, Al
Hirschfeld, Thomas Hoving and Schuyler Chapin.
