Rodrigo Salomon is a pillar of the artistic community of Tribeca, New York
Rodrigo Salomon, gallery owner and filmmaker has lived in his TriBeCa loft since 1974. He has presented film, theater and dance shows, as well as art exhibitions. The success of these artistic activities created an organic synergy that addressed the artist’s need to expose his work to his colleagues and the public in an unconventional environment.
Although it is located in a residential loft, typical of artists’ lofts in Tribeca, it became an artistic center that led him to found Salomon Arts Gallery with his wife Gigi in 2003. Gigi Salomon is an urban architect with a master’s degree in Urban and Regional Planning from Pratt Institute.
The arts center’s focus is community planning and development through arts and culture. Currently, Gigi and Rodrigo Salomon are producing a video documentary about the pioneering artists who created the artistic community in TriBeCa, New York.
