Federico To Offer Next SCAN Program

The Society of Creative Arts of Newtown (SCAN) will host an acrylic landscape painting demonstration by Frank Federico on Wednesday, November 30, at 1:30 pm. The program will be in the lower meeting room of Newtown Meeting House, 31 Main Street (at the flagpole). The public is welcome, free of charge.

Mr Federico began his career as a boy in New Orleans. He painted vibrant landscapes of the bayou and sketched jazz musicians who played the clubs along Bourbon Street. Jazz played a significant influence on his art. Mr Federico, in fact, is a founding member of the Litchfield Jazz Festival; his art can be viewed annually at the event.

At home in Litchfield, Mr Federico is celebrated as both a master artist and teacher having won awards from the American Watercolor Society, Pastel Society of America and the International Association of Pastel Societies. He leads art workshops both locally and internationally. This past August he won a Richard Ochs Watercolor Award at Kent Art Association Presidents’ Show.

Recognition of his vibrant painting style has appeared in numerous publications and in March 2005, American Artist magazine featured his work in a six page article. More recently he was given a certificate of Official State Merit by Governor Dannel P. Malloy for his artistic endeavors for Litchfield’s Jazz Festival for the last 15 years.

Mr Federico has exhibited his work in many one-man and group shows, including international exhibitions in Tokyo and Stockholm. He holds elected/signature artist membership in Allied Artists of America, Pastel Society of America, Degas Pastel Society, National Watercolor Society and Rockport Art Association.

Reservations are not needed for SCAN programs but additional information is always available from Ruth Newquist, at 203-426-6654.
