PUBLIC SPEAKING: Alders has been a featured Speaker at NFT NYC & DCentral in Miami during Art Basel and has been featured in the lights of Times Square. Focusing on both on being both insightful and inspiring, Jay offers mindsets and wisdom from decades of experience.
Jay Alders is such a pro! I booked Jay to do a live painting on the morning newscast in Jacksonville and he crushed it. Not only did he make magic on the canvas but he was a great interview on LIVE tv too. I highly recommend Jay Alders for live events. I first saw him paint live at a concert and he really did a great job focusing on his work while still engaging with the fans. It is always a treat to see Jay work!
Jay was hired to do a live surfboard painting at our company’s launch party in October 2022. This was our first experience with not only Jay but with someone doing a live painting at an event so we were unsure what to expect. Jay was excellent! He was very responsive, showed up when he said he would, and did a great job keeping our guests engaged throughout the night. We were even able to auction off the surfboard for a charity. Highly recommend Jay for all your live art event needs!
