Meet Stacy Slaten, Artist, Curator, and Associate Professor

Salann Magazine’s mission is to give artists a voice around the world. They provide a platform for artists to express themselves, and to show their work to a much broader audience. Salann Magazine is an independent publication. Salann is Irish for salt.

Salt is defined as an ingredient that gives savor, piquancy, or zest… art does the same!

Salann is a play on words: The Salon (French: Salon), or rarely Paris Salon (French: Salon de Paris), beginning in 1667, was the official art exhibition of the Académie des Beaux-Artsin Paris. Between 1748 and 1890 it was arguably the greatest annual or biennial art event in the Western world.

Publication Printers in Denver, Colo., the official printers of the Denver Broncos, are printing Salann Magazine. Salann Magazine strives to give artists at all stages of their career an opportunity to get exposure for their work not only by publication and online promotion but by connecting the artists to galleries and other show venues, using the magazine as a resource catalog for our consulting services.
