We had a great PechaKucha event at the Visual Art Exchange December 8th! We had about 90 folks show up, which is impressive since December is a very busy month for everyone. I heard more than once that PKN was a before or after event that evening. Many thanks to Pabst Blue Ribbon and Lonerider for suppling liquid refreshment. Our volunteers brought wine and other goodies to fill our tummies. The VAE turned out to be a great venue for our crowd as they truly enjoyed seeing artwork during the breaks and that also created chit-chat among everyone. I feel our Raleigh PKN is growing and developing into a great family where ideas are exchanged and folks are inspired. Here are a few quotes,
Congratulations on another great PKN night. It was fun, entertaining, and thought-provoking.
– Cris CohenandThank you so much for making this amazing event happen.I had to leave before the end since I have 2 papers due tomorrow. But I did enjoy the event and will be a follower in the future.– Pinar Yoldas
We had talks from artists who told tales of Kickstarting a project, imaging visually what a new species without a central nervous system would look like, poetry of balance and space, new work ideas, new ideas for intoxication management, how introverts rule the world… and more. If you missed this event, we will have our videos on YouTube shortly, search “pknraleigh” for the channel.
The video was shot by Larry Evans and he also managed the audio thanks to his good friends Amy & Anthony who supplied the PA system. These events are always a collaboration of great skills and talents and would not happen in such fin style without each and everyone who contributed.
What did you really love or not like so much about our recent PKN? Will you attend again? How about presenting a talk in the future?
