Founder/CEO Irene Hernandez-Feiks founded Chillin' Productions 7 years ago with the purpose of discovering and aiding Bay Area fashion designers, painters, photographers, filmmakers, DJ's, musicians and performers. Her goal has been to provide exposure and create new opportunities for the artists. In her tenure as a promoter, Irene has made a point of never taking commissions or charging designers to sell their work. In short, all of the money made by the artist goes to the artist. Chillin' Productions produces 4 events per year with each event showcasing 60 fashion designers, 60 painters/photographers, 60 filmmakers, 7 DJ's and live music. In addition, the past year Irene has been involved in projects with GEN ART, Mexican Consulate (Cultural Affairs), the United Nations and Natural World Museum (art into action), Baxter Chang Patri Fine Art (Miguel Osuna), Art Seed apprenticeship Program Benefiting Bayview Hunters Point Youth and Spindle Desco Continuous Movement Discussion Series: Converging Art, Music & Nightlife: Possibilities (A panel discussion & open forum). Assisting the community is Irene's passion and true focus. |
