  Paris Salon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Paris Salon (French: Salon de Paris) is the official art exhibition of the Académie des beaux-arts in Paris, France.
The Salon's original focus was the display of the work of recent graduates of the École des Beaux-Arts, which was created by Cardinal Mazarin, chief minister of France, in 1648.
In the 19th century the idea of a public salon extended to an annual government-sponsored juried exhibition of new painting and sculpture, held in large commercial halls, to which the ticket-bearing public was invited.

 Salon (gathering) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The salons, commonly associated with French literary and philosophical salons of the 17th century and 18th century, were carried on until quite recently in urban settings among like-minded people of a 'set': many 20th-century salons could be instanced.
The most famous of the literary salons of Paris formed in the 1620s were the Hôtel de Rambouillet by Madame de Rambouillet and the rival salon that gathered around Madeleine de Scudéry.
The Paris Salon was originally an officially-sanctioned exhibit of recent works of painting and sculpture by members of the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture, starting in 1673 and soon moving from the Salon Carré of the Palace of the Louvre.

 teaparty
The first part of this piece suggests that in addition to the coffee house and salon metaphor and mythology around the genesis of the public sphere, that it may be as valid to consider the Boston Tea Party metaphor.
Moreover it will argue that the Paris Salon model of electronic democracy — the purview of political communication — needs to be expanded to include the Boston Tea Party model of electronic democracy — the purview of political action — for a fuller and more complete theory and practice of electronic democracy.
One sound reason for expanding the theoretical and practical basis of electronic democracy beyond the limiting confines of the Habermasian Paris Salon model is that in the non-digital world this rational discursive public sphere only represents a fraction of the available avenues for the occurrence of democratic action.

 Comic Art Exhibition (Getty Press Release)
Los Angeles—The famed caricaturists of 19th-century Paris, a group that included many of the leading graphic artists of the day, sharpened their poison pens each year to satirize the serious art selected for display in the official exhibition, called the Salon.
A new exhibition, Comic Art: The Paris Salon in Caricature, at the Getty Center from November 18, 2003 through February 15, 2004, examines the wit, wisdom, and scathing commentary of these graphic satirists during their heyday, from the 1830s through the turn of the century.
The caricaturists' main target remained the Salon and its focus on the staid old-line art establishment, but innovative "avant-garde" artists also took their share of satirical punches.  Edouard Manet and Gustave Courbet were among the popular targets.
