Former SALOON Berlin member, Dr. Franziska Storch, was the one who brought the SALOON spirit to Hamburg — she understood the power of connecting great women who are working in the local art scene. Consequently, SALOON Hamburg was founded in January 2018 by Storch and her colleague, Charlotte Gaitzsch (board member from 2018-2023); both art historians, curators, and art guides. SALOON Hamburg facilitates an exchange between local members by regularly hosting meetings, promoting their works on Instagram, and by organizing yearly exhibitions. Additionally, the network increases its connection to other players in the local art scene by hosting public events such as the talks “Why female perspectives matter like never before”. Furthermore, SALOON Hamburg encourages the members to connect with members of the other international SALOON cities to engage with the widespread, diverse network of women. SALOON Hamburg also strives for equal treatment and payment of all participants in the art world and is open to potential inspiring and supportive cooperation partners.

Dr. Franziska Storch (she/her) is an art historian based in Hamburg who co-founded the SALOON Hamburg in 2018. After her studies in art history and mathematics in Oldenburg, she completed her PhD at the Humboldt-University in Berlin about the color grey. Franziska is interested in arts as a means of reflecting society. Her focus on aspects like color, space and perception reveals bridges between past and present. After a voluntary assignment at the Bucerius Kunst Forum, she now works as a freelance speaker, author of texts and audio pieces, as curator and as guide. She can look back on successful collaborations with e.g. the museum Hamburger Kunsthalle, the public radio station NDR, the foundation MeetFrida or the association Lichtwark-Gesellschaft Hamburg. On an annual basis, Franziska curates the international SALOON exhibitions in Hamburg. The last exhibitions have been "You've got mail" (mom art space, 2020), "entFALTUNG" (Galerie Carolyn Heinz, 2021), "beyond BEYOND" (MeetFrida, 2022).
