South End Salon

A Salon at Piano Craft Gallery: A Winter Evening Among Art
Some of the best winter nights aren’t spent hibernating; they’re spent gathering. For one evening, The Jar invites you to a cozy night in Boston’s South End that unfolds over art, dinner with old and new friends, and a sweet treat.

What is a Salon?
A Salon is a gathering built for real connection. It’s not a networking event or a lecture, but an intimate night of shared art, honest conversation, and a good meal, where strangers get the chance to become neighbors.

Our Convener Model™ - Bring your people, and some who aren't your people yet
There are no single tickets at The Jar. When you buy a ticket, you automatically get an added 3 spots to invite guests: a +1 and two people who don’t look, love, or pray like you, with whom you may not usually share a night out. The magic of the evening comes from the mix at the table, so come ready to meet people whose stories differ from your own and to create a night full of possibility together.

The space
The Piano Craft Gallery celebrates the work of racially, culturally, and socio-economically diverse artists of all abilities. For one night, its walls set the scene for dinner and conversation with The Jar.
