City of Richmond - Call to Artists
Richmond Public Art Pecha Kucha Night 20 X 20
It's time for the public art design talent in Richmond to share their artistic vision!
Public artists, landscape architects, architects and designers of all kinds, either residing or working in Richmond, BC are invited to participate in a lively ideas exchange to celebrate Culture Days in Richmond!
Experience the great fun of a Pecha Kucha Night, presenting 20 slides of your work at seconds per image, to an audience of artists and those interested in art and the design of the public realm, including public artists, sculptures, muralists, builders, playground designers, and more.
Pecha Kucha Night was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public. It has turned into a massive celebration, with events happening in hundreds of cities around the world, inspiring creativity worldwide. Drawing its name from the Japanese term for the sound of "chit chat", it rests on a presentation format that is based on a simple idea: 20 images X 20 seconds each. It's a format that makes presentations concise, and keeps things moving at a rapid pace
