Cave Ballad Salon

Cave ballads come in an eclectic mix of forms and styles; whether it's new words for existing songs, original words and music, or avant-garde; whether it's pop, rock, folk, country, blues, classical, or new age, the Caves Ballad Salon draws them all. Attend the awards session to hear this year's entries and winners. Or, drop by the listening room later in the week and relax to both old and new. For more information, please see the Cave Ballad Salon website.

Fine Arts Salon

If it doesn't fit into one of the other salons, it goes here. The exhibits include drawings, paintings, sculpture, collage, and much more. See the Fine Arts Salon website for more information.

Print Salon

The photographic print offers a different viewing experience from that provided by slides. These prints come in photographic color, digital color, and black and white. Spend as much time as you want on each. Discuss them with your friends. Think about how you would have taken the same picture. The print salon will be here for you to enjoy. See the Print Salon website for more information.

Cover Arts Salon

Newsletter editors continuously hound their friends for cover material. This gentle harassment often produces wonderful photographic, non-photographic, and computer-enhanced images. The cover arts salon will feature newsletter covers from NSS affiliated organizations. See the Cover Art Salon website for more information.

T-Shirt Salon

Cavers often wear their passion for caves on their chests. This salon will display t-shirts from caving organizations, camps, and expeditions throughout the world. See the T-Shirt Salon website for more information.

Symbolic Emblem Salon

Pins, patches, decals, and other devices identify a caver's affiliations and interests, as well as providing yet another outlet for unbounded creativity. They'll all be on display in the Symbolic Emblem Salon. See the Symbolic Emblems Salon website for more information.

Cartographic Salon

Survey and cartography have always been a major focus of the NSS. Long hours underground in cramped and uncomfortable positions are followed by long hours huntched over computers and drafting tables. Both art and tool, the cave map combines useful and accurate information with the artistry of presentation. This salon will feature the finest in cave and karst maps. See Cartography Salon website for more information.
