Welcome to
Sunday Salon!
What Is Sunday Salon?
A place to gather with friends, new and old, to learn about technology tools.
A place to be creative.
A place to experiment.
A place of brightness in a Portland winter day.
Remember Our Slogans !
You can't break the internet.
Just give it a go!
Salon? Isn't That a Place to Get Your Hair Done?
Our name is inspired by the regular gatherings of the Bloomsbury Group, a literary and arts society that met in London in the early 20th century. Their salon was a lively meeting of artists and writers who tackled topics that were central to their work.
When Does Sunday Salon Meet?
The second and third Sunday of each month at 4:00 p.m., except in February, when the second Sunday is our annual meeting. See the Sunday Salon page for all that information.
What If I Can't Come?
The videos from each session will be posted on this website after each meeting, along with other information. Visit as often as you'd like!
You'll also see a menu of topics in the upper right corner of each page. Some pages also have dropdown menus of pages with related information. Take a minute to explore them and see what's here.
How Do I Get More Information?
