Savoir-Faire began in 2009 as a platform for performance artists to realize new projects with the support of both a venue and an audience. Gallery Director Jenn Dierdorf created the invitational program and works with each artist to develop and present their projects to a live audience. Artists are chosen based on the exceptional quality of their work and their commitment to the arts.
Savoir-Faire seeks to provide a direct link between emerging artists and a public hungry for live artistic expression and eager to experience and/or participate in this reinvented medium. Only through performance can the audience, artist, reality, and imagination conjoin and confuse in such a beautiful and absurd way. Through Savoir-Faire, SOHO20 draws out the playful, experimental, and powerfully delicious aspects of artistic inquiry to reassess and redefine our perceptions about art, life, and the roles of women in each.
Savoir-Faire celebrates performance as an artistic medium and extends the lineage of artists to those striving to find visibility today. SOHO2O Gallery Chelsea is a non-profit 501 (c) 3 promoting the work of women artists and serving the community through public events.
