Echelon Salon II: Fall Edition - September
Theme: Storytelling Through Text, Image, and Identity

Echelon Salon II explores the power of storytelling across literature, visual art, and cultural memory. This Fall Edition offers a space where emerging writers, visual artists, editors, and curators can share their work, receive feedback, and connect with peers and industry professionals for mentorship and collaboration.

Designed as an intimate and thoughtful gathering, the salon invites participants to reflect on how language and imagery preserve identity, provoke thought, and carry legacy. Through live readings, artist talks, portfolio reviews, and roundtable discussions, guests will engage in creative exchange that uplifts both craft and community.

Whether writing a poem, capturing a moment through a lens, or curating a visual narrative, artists are invited to be in dialogue with leaders in their field and each other.

Core Themes:

• Literature & Poetry
  A platform for original writings, shared aloud and discussed in community — celebrating language as a form of resistance, beauty, and memory.

• Visual Arts & Photography
  Artists showcase work and explore the storytelling power of visual composition, medium, and message.

• Cultural Memory & Legacy
  Conversations and creative prompts focused on heritage, history, and the narratives that shape personal and collective identities.

Featured Guests May Include:

Established writers, visual artists, photographers, editors, and curators offering insight, encouragement, and opportunities for mentorship.

Echelon Salon II is for artists who speak in lines and images, who archive emotion and experience, and who believe in the enduring power of the written and visual word.
