First Person Salons are an interactive program offering emerging and established artists and writers an opportunity to present their new memoir and documentary-based works or works-in progress, and offering audiences access to exciting new works that might otherwise go unseen. Artists working in all media, and from all levels of experience, whose work is based in real-life experience, are welcome to apply using the application form available at the link above. Each Salon will be curated by the staff of First Person Arts. Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis at salons@firstpersonarts.org.
