Boris Goldmund's
The Monthly Salon
Hosts & Heroes
The Salon had its humble beginnings in my apartment in San Francisco at Rincon Towers. Since 1991, it has outgrown my living space and without my asking, generous members of the Salon community have stepped up to host the event, both in San Francisco and Berlin. As I write this, my heart overflows with gratitude for the kindness and generosity of the individuals listed below in growing our Salon community globally.
Peter & Gabi Radusch
Peter & Gabi Radusch are dear friends and the first patrons of the Berlin Salon Series which began in October, 2017. They have ceaselessly extended their hospitality and know-how to Boris in his frequent visits to the Berlin Salons. Without them, the Berlin Salon would not be a reality.
Paul Festa & James Harker
Paul Festa, James Harker, and Ziggy of Kreuzberg, Berlin have hosted the Salon in December, 2017, and April and June, 2018. Their ceaseless generosity and amazing talent have caused the Berlin Salon to gel and have continuity. Both are professors at Bard College in Berlin. Both are talented artists in their own right.
