Explain this
On October 4th, 2009, I conducted a lecture/Q&A regarding who I am and what I do as a artist.
Tim Greusel and Ed Babiarz hosted the evening supplying food, drink , and entertainment. The event was held in a historic, Reading property, graciously loaned for use by Chris Miller. Connie Lienbach of the Berks Arts Council tapped me to be the 3rd of a continuing run of “artist talks”. Sponsored by Berks Arts Council these events are to introduce know and up and coming artists and to raise arts awareness in the community.
My brother, Jay Kijak, donated 3 hours to help hang the show Saturday the 4th. Over all I had 32 pieces of various sizes, mediums, and techniques, all showing my varied abilities. The show looked great and definitely emphasized the best of my expression.
The group of 18 interested individuals had been privy to a articulate and animated performance. I defined my abilities, methods, and thought process’ within my works in a energetic and attention holding manor. The group asked great questions and the feed back after the show was fantastic.
I proudly sold one painting (My Humble Thanks) and will be holding another for a future sale.
I had a tinge of anxiety prior to the event but the over all vibe was chill. I felt comfortable and really nailed the talk. Again, the lighting was perfect and the artwork looked great on the walls. The only thing I could have done better was HAND OUT MY BUSINESS CARD…duh!
I want to gratefully thank the individuals above for they’re efforts and support in my artistic endeavor. Thanks to all that stopped out and those that didn’t, but support me anyway
