spiderweb salon is an art collective based out of denton, texas and you are invited to be a part. we are local writers, artists, musicians, and performers of varying talents: poets, singers, illustrators, actors, designers, songwriters, playwrights, film makers, painters, sculptors, brewmasters, comedians, chefs, photographers, dreamers, and so on. some of us work in the arts professionally, some of us are new to making and sharing our art, and the rest of us are somewhere in between. we learn a lot from one another! welcome. you are here.
courtney marie and conor wallace, {we, bees}, hosted the first spiderweb showcases in 2012 to encourage and support their friend's creative endeavors. it has since grown into a thing that is much bigger than what they had originally intended, but it's cool. they are still running the show, with a lot of help from their friends. there is a heavy (necessary) focus on celebrating poets and writers at our shows, but all art forms are welcome and collaboration is highly encouraged, always & forever. spiderweb salon loves you.
the following is a mostly up-to-date list of the writers, musicians, photographers, performers, visual artists, and other volunteers, contributors, and friends we've featured or had the honor to work with in some fashion over the last six years or so. if you don't see your name here and think you should be here, please let us know! (likewise, if you don't want to be featured on this page or want to add/change a photo, feel free to contact us.) most of these fine folks are from the DFW area, though some of our wonderful friends do visit us from far away places, or have since moved on to adventures elsewhere.
