Spaghetti Western introduced Saloon Salon Art Gallery Show Apr. 23 in Morongo Valley

Clint Eastwood Nail Art by John Henson

Saloon Salon is a beautiful new art gallery located at Spaghetti Western restaurant in Morongo Valley. John Henson and Ben Allanoff, two local artists, are excited to invite everyone to the reception for their upcoming exhibit there, on Sunday April 23, from 4 – 6 PM.

The show is called “Rust and Nails” – Allanoff will be showing rusty metal collages and monoprints made of rust on canvas, while Henson is showing his signature Nail Art pieces, each one an amazing pointillist image composed of thousands of nails embedded into a board. In addition to the compelling and unusual artwork, there will be live music, two classic bars, and, of course, outstanding cuisine.

The exhibit will run until June 18.
