The Open Society Salon is a friendly social club inspired by the Salon's of Europe during the age of Enlightenment. In keeping with this inspiriation, the Salon seeks to refine tastes and increase knowledge through conversation. It is an important place for the exchange of ideas and the discovery of new intellectual paths. It is a group that desires to foster rational and graceful discussion in areas such as, the arts, literature, history, science, politics, social theory, philosophy and economics etc.Β 

We believe the Salon tradition is a vital element long missing from the American intellectual landscape. The Salon aims to elevate public opinion and prepare individuals for participation in public discourse and debate.Β
