The Exponential Festival Presents: SalOn! at Mercury Store: A Night of Process

The Exponential Festival presents SalOn!
SalOn! at Mercury Store: A Night of Process

Come for the smorgasbord of micro-acts, stay for the end-of-festival gathering! 

SALON!, founded by Theresa Buchheister in 2014 and stewarded by Matthew Antoci & Jillian Jetton since 2024, is a quarterly affair that brings together artists, comedians, chefs, scientists, theologians – anyone with something to share in a DIY, low-stakes setting – in one delightfully unpredictable night. Presenters are asked to share something *at the edge* of their practice, and the resulting mixed-bill of micro-acts coalesces (loosely) around a theme. 

Co-Curated by Matthew Antoci, Theresa Buchheister, & Jillian Jetton 

Host & Lineup TBA!

Art by Mark Toneff

Doors at 7pm

Presentation at 7:30pm

9-10pm - end-of-festival gathering (we'll migrate to a nearby bar TBA around 10p!)

This January, Buchheister returns for one night only to co-curate with Antoci & Jetton the first SALON! of the year, which doubles as the Exponential Festival Closing Celebration. Join us in exaltation of all the brilliant and boundary-breaking work of Expo 2027! Donation-based refreshments will be on site. We'll migrate to a neighborhood bar after the show.

Thank you to Exponential and our hosts, Mercury Store! 

Runtime: 90 min
