On November 22, the first exhibition of Dr. Alen Salerian’s paintings will happen in a private venue in honor and remembrance of President John F. Kennedy and his ideals. His assassination on the date in 1963, has been the backdrop and catalyst to this emotionally sweeping visual homage the painter calls JFK: Symbols on Canvas. Created in less than a year “These 80 works took over my life because as I read more about that period in our history, my hand was driven to explain the inexplicable loss all people felt when that great statesman and his hopes were extinguished.” Public exhibitions are being planned, but for a glimpse of the collection visit www.salerianbrain.com.

On November 19, paintings by Dr. Alen Salerian will grace the walls of
the National Press Club to complement a lecture given by University of
Minnesota McKnight Professor Emeritus James H. Fetzer. “This selection
from Dr. Salerian’s JFK collection illuminates the historical context of
the events in Dallas on November 22, 1963,” Professor Fetzer says. The
presentation, “What Happened to JFK?”, is one in the series of McClendon
Lectures featured at the Club.

On November 14, proceeds from the anticipated sale of at least one of Dr. Alen J. Salerian’s “JFK: Symbols on Canvas” collection will go toward community pre-school childcare assistance when the painting is among others auctioned by non-profit Centronia at their annual Fall Art Gala in Washington, D.C.
