My name is Patricia Stepniak, and I am an artist and founder of PatriciaArtStudio. For many years, I have been helping people achieve their artistic dreams, express themselves through art, and with the help of artists who are part of my studio, I seek ways of connecting people of different backgrounds and ethnicities through the fine arts. Today I am inviting you to take part in “Painting Chopin”, an event from the festival “Chopin in The City.” This is a project that has been planned for many years before making its debut in February 2018, under the patronage of the Sounds and Notes Foundation. The mission of this concert and the entire festival is to spread knowledge and awareness of Polish composer and pianist, Frederic Chopin, as well as other classical musicians. The festival is a place where dozens of artists from around the world come together to share their ideas with each other, ideas ranging from the traditional arts to avant-garde visions. In years past, the “Painting Chopin” event has housed close to 20 artists, all in different ages and levels of experience. This year’s concert will take place from 12 pm-2 pm on February 23 in the Polish Museum of America, the largest ethnic museum in the United States. We expect over 150 guests in attendance. --- Patricia Stepniak A graduate of the Fine Arts Schools in Poland, Patricia Stepniak's whole life is centered around sharing her artistic talents with the world.
