We are bringing back the lost art of the European “Salon”.
Art takes many forms - visual, performing, culinary. We’d like you to join us!
Judd Street Exchange, home of the Van Dell Studio & Gallery, is located above the historic Marine General Store and is a premiere gallery for visual arts exhibitions. The “Salon Series” features music, theatre, spoken word, dance, and more in monthly gatherings designed to fully immerse an intimate audience into the world of a specific art form. A combination of performance and creativity exchange, this new collection of live art will include events all year long.

An evening of song! Get ready to be blown away by this powerhouse performer, singing Broadway favorites!
Jen Burleigh- Bentz has been performing in the metro area, across the country, and indeed, internationally in multiple genres for over 25 years. Spanning St. Paul to Nashville to Broadway, around our great country and to the UK, Jen’s career has led to performing monthly with the Star of the North Jazz Orchestra in Minneapolis, creating her own monthly cabaret at MetroNome Brewery in St Paul, and continuing to follow her heart - which lies in musical theatre. Being part of Mamma Mia!, playing Donna, Rosie, and Tanya on the Broadway stage, and in 5 subsequent productions, is just one of the pieces of Jen's Musical Theatre pie... the History Theatre has also been a huge part of Jen’s life, and one of her favorite spaces to play -- 9 shows in just 15 years. Whether pop or jazz, rock or musical theatre, Jen’s warmth and connection to the material drives her performance. Pioneer Press raves, “Jen Burleigh-Bentz packs vocal and emotional power into her version of songs”. Jen has been featured in many recordings over the years, she performed with Jim Brickman on national tours, as well as here in her hometown, and with orchestras across the nation. www.jenburleigh-bentz.com/

A little history on the European "Salon”:
“Salons are nothing new, humans have been gathering together to discuss and debate ideas, and to share and savor new literature and music for centuries. They fall in and out of trend depending on the era, but for a solid 400 years or so, from about 1500 – 1900, salons were popular across Europe. The term salon suggests some modicum of regularity, and with that regularity came conversation, connection and community. Sometimes salons centered around a specific theme like poetry and at other times they were more general in scope. But the one central theme amongst them all was that the focus was on listening and speaking to each other, learning from those around you, your fellow guests at the salon.
While the roots of the salon can be found in Ancient Greece and Rome, the first recorded salons took place in Italy in the 15th Century, and these were a precursor to the Enlightenment Period. They were an opportunity for artists, poets, musicians, thinkers, the Renaissance intellectual glitteratti and their hangers-on, to come together across social classes to hob-nob and share ideas…” (Read more at this amazing source: thesalonhost.com)
