Her vision was to create a space in which the artists would be present in exhibiting their works and engage with the viewers in a conversation about the work.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cherylmcginnisgallery.com\/\">Cheryl McGinnis Gallery<\/a>, a contemporary salon became an exciting space in which many artist\u2019s careers were born, nurtured and thrived.\u00a0 Zhang Hongtu, Emma Amos, Donna Sharret, Lin Yan, Wei Jia, Cui Fei and others. In doing so and following her vision, she was instrumental in creating the Chinese contemporary market today.\u00a0 As well, the salon exhibited more women artists than any other gallery or alternative space at that time. It was a great success.<\/p>\n<p>Everything she has launched\u00a0 was and is an extension of the salon concept.\u00a0 Although salons are popular today, Cheryl McGinnis Gallery,\u00a0 a contemporary salon was one of the first to take this notion of artist\u2019s discussing their works, studio visits for viewers and a more open and accessible space.\u00a0 The Flatiron Prow Art Space, Cheddar, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/cherylmcginnisprojects\">smART stART<\/a> and the salon today are all important aspects of the original vision of being a separate entity to the traditional gallery system and\u00a0 \u2018to make art accessible to all.\u2019<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6744\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6744\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img
