 A salon, based on the French word living room, is a conversational gathering of intellectuals, artists, and politicians. The word salon originally meaning "reception room." In the 1800's France, the meaning grew to include a "gathering of elegant people" occurring regularly in such a room.

Another kind of salon is a formal living room — if you invited guests for tea or wine you might sit and sip it in your salon.  

"Salon" is a room or series of rooms where works of art are exhibited, thus the Phantom Gallery Chicago Loft Gallery, located in the Bronzeville Artist Lofts, 2nd floor, Room 205.

A salon is a gathering of people under the roof of an inspiring host, held partly to amuse one another and partly to refine the taste and increase the knowledge of the participants through conversation. These gatherings often consciously followed Horace's definition of the aims of poetry, "either to please or to educate".
