Newark Arts Alliance encourages an open exchange of ideas and artistic expression. We also wish to provide a comfortable environment for listeners. If you think your material may offend some, it likely will. We ask that you save this for readings geared toward that particular genre. Hosts have the right to use their discretion to mute anyone and not invite some guests to future readings. Readers may mute any reader they don’t wish to listen to. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation.
Our featured reader for June 6 is Ken Segal.
Ken Segal was born in 1959 and lived with his family in the affluent Philadellphia suburbs. He graduated with a BFA in Graphic Design from The Tyler School of Art of Temple University. His post-college jobs included creating 3D graphics and “walkthrough animations” for a large architecture firm and recreating vehicular accidents for the courtroom. He wrote monthly articles for CADence Magazine, and co-authored “The AutoCAD 3D Book.”
After working in Virtual Reality development for a decade, he returned to his first love, creating fine art. Ken has exhibited in solo and group shows throughout Delaware and Pennsylvania. In 2011 he was a founding member of The Creative Vision Factory, a free art studio and gallery for those on the “Behavioral Health Spectrum.” He exhibits there often, while counseling and coaching the members, many of whom are homeless.
