Kathryn, All, I am sorry for the confusion. The blog is not mine, it happens that the name "Sebastian" is very common in Argentina. Sebastian Tedesco´s paintings were also exhibited at the Salon and that is where I took the link from. Regarding your question, during the opening speech one of the things said was that the Salon *"is officially opened and will never be closed down"*, so the idea is that from now on, every artist, professional or amateur, that wishes to share his/her works related to mysticism, magic, etc. has a free and non-profit space to count on. The next session of the Salon is expected to be in July for a special occasion related to a presentation of a book about gnosticism. The following sessions will be opened for all artists. Speaking of which, and for the common interest, I am planning to give a conference in August´s session about Film photography and Alchemy.
