AAUW Presentation: "Salem County Women Artists"
The two buttons below will enable you to see the autobiography collection and the slideshow that I used for the American Association of University Women dinner program, "Salem County Women Artists." I thought you might be interested.
Unfortunately, some awful music automatically loaded with the slideshow so you may want to turn your sound off. I narrated the slides as I went through them, but I did not record the sound because my comments were fairly extemporaneous based on your biography and my visit with you. In addition to the slideshow, I gave a brief introduction as to the importance and necessity of art to us as human beings as well as the importance of acknowledging the "art gene" that we all carry. Some use that "gene" to develop hands-on creativity, while others use their "gene" for art appreciation...connecting with artwork on a personal level through observation and collecting.
I think the talk was successful. There were several questions, some comments on how well they enjoyed the program, and one person indicating that he intended to begin putting local art in his new house. Yea!
It was really those of you who agreed to participate in my project that made it successful. Without you, I really had no show! Of course, I could have just talked my way through it; but a speech after dinner, well, that has the danger of putting people to sleep written all over it.
Thank you again. Hopefully, we can work together somehow in the future.
