Founded in 1903, Salon d'Automne provides a unique opportunity for young artists of art forms such as, painting, sculpture, photography, contemporary art, architecture, music, film and dance, to make a break and be known to the world.
In addition, the exhibition allows the audience to discover new trends through the Salon's unique multi-disciplinary approach to art.

Robert Harroch, a businessman and Jewish Zionist from France, and his daughter, curator Audrey Harroch, have prided themselves with the opportunity to represent the prestigious exhibition in Israel.
"The main purpose of the event is to allow for international exposure of young artists just beginning their journey," said Audrey Harroch. "For us, bringing the International exhibition to Israel is a blessing and a privilege. It will attract a large number of tourists to Tel Aviv who will also enjoy the various attractions the city has to offer."

Noel Coret, president of the exhibition, discussed the excitement of organizing the Salon in Israel for the first time in history.
"We are confident that Israel will open its doors and heart for the creation of art without borders. Artists from around the world will come together with Israeli artists, each from different backgrounds and cultures. Here there is no compulsion in taste. Diversity spreads naturally across the artistic spectrum, in all forms and all manifestations."
Israeli artists from all forms of art may present the commission a number of works. If approved, the commission will then choose up to three works to be presented in the exhibition. These areas of art include: Painting, sculpture, design, photography, digital art, fashion design, architecture, music, film, literature, etc.

President Noel Coret is a writer of the arts and the president of the Salon d'Automne since 2004.
The exhibition was the only platform which assisted Jewish artists in 1944. From its beginnings, the most important concepts of the exhibition are the fundamental necessities of patience, tolerance and the acceptance of others, therefore every professional artwork and artists are accepted.
The exhibition tore away all taboos creating the significant milestone in the development of modern art. It opened the way towards innovation and presented the art of the "other," which was less accepted at the time.
