Société des Artistes Indépendants formed in Paris on July 19, 1884 when artists wanted to show art to the public which the official (Académie de peinture et de sculpture) salon jury rejected.

The founders of the société were Albert Dubois-Pillet, Odilon Redon, Georges Seurat and Paul Signac.

Article 1 of the organization statutes reads,

...the purpose of Société des Artistes Indépendants – based on the principle of abolishing admission jury – is to allow the artists to present their works to public judgement with complete freedom.

On December 1, 1884, Lucien Boué, Paris City Council President, opened the first Salon des Indépendants at the Palais Polychrome.

Among the works exhibited were La baignade à Asnières by Georges Seurat and Le Pont d’Austerlitz by Paul Signac, and the art of Henri-Edmond Cross, Odilon Redon, Albert Dubois-Pillet, Louis Valtat, Armand Guillaumin, and Charles Angrand.

In 2005, the Société remains active with annual exhibitions.
