Here's Jimmy!
Patricia Calhoun
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.
May 7: The art and influences of Jimmy Sellars, also featuring DJ Check One of the Future Jazz Project and guest poet Hektor Munoz.
