Here's Jimmy!
Patricia Calhoun, Westword
Jimmy Sellars says tonight's First Monday Art Talk could
have been called "Just Jimmy," but when the focus is Jimmy
Sellars, that's more than enough. "I'm just so excited;
I've never been able to go to one of these," Sellars says
of the series moderated by Eric Matelski. "All I know is
that the audience writes down questions, and there's a talk
show on stage." But there's much more than that. Sellars's
art will hang on the walls through May 28. The drink
special will be the artist's favorite drink (Grey Goose
martini extra-dry with blue-cheese olives), and the movie
showing in the background could be his favorite movie:
Auntie Mame. ("It's almost embarrassing," he says, but that
won't keep him from watching.) And then there's Sellars
himself, who not only makes art and has his own gallery —
sellarsprojectspace — but advises other artists on how to
market their work; his efforts in the community earned him
a 2007 MasterMind award. Learn at the feet of the master
starting at 7 p.m.; the evening is free at Dazzle, 930
Lincoln Street. For more info, go to www.dazzlejazz.com.
Date/Time: First Monday of every month, 7:00pm-9:00pm
