Salon09 (

ambitious open submission exhibition, which creates a platform
for international creative practitioners at all stages of
their careers, to present their work to a range of influential

take place in September 2009 at a project space in the
internationally renowned Vyner Street in East London.

of £1000, and the John Jones Award for
Contemporary Painting, which will consist of 12
months support towards professional development, a monetary
prize of £500 and a £200 bursary for John Jones
services.
The exhibition will be selected by:
