How does Art of Space use 1200 lbs. of plastic to make art? Why is the Springfield Police Department talking about environmental design? What inspires the new director of the Art Museum? What is it like to work at the London Olympics or a sake brewery in Japan?

All this and more will be topics for discussion at the next PechaKucha Night vol. 8!

Drawing its name from the Japanese term for conversation, the 20 x 20 format keeps ideas moving at a rapid pace. Presenters have 20 images and 20 seconds per image, a total of 6 minutes and 40 seconds, to tell their story.

PechaKucha Night is not a place to promote products or organizations. It’s a place to share ideas and experiences an open source environment. The idea is to come away from the event with a greater perspective and richer ideas, but most importantly, to enjoy oneself in the process.

This is a free non-profit community event with donations appreciated. There will be time for networking and casual conversation at intermission. Please invite your creative friends!
