PechaKucha “Faces of the Creative Economy”

“Faces of the Creative Economy”

Friday, November 13 at 7:20pm

The fifth PechaKucha Night Rockland will be open to the public at the Camden Opera House on Friday, November 13. The Midcoast Magnet is hosting this event in conjunction with the Juice-2 Conference also being held at the Camden Opera House on November 13 and 14. The doors open at 6:45pm and show begins at 7:20 PM; admission is $5 per person.

The line-up of presenters is a dynamic group with diverse topics including Mary Barnes, unconventional dry and wet drawings; Sam Cady, shaped canvas painter; Paul Chartrand, importer of organic wines; Autumn Cipala, translucent porcelain potter; Anastasia Fischer, interaction designer; Bill Laurita, owner of Swans Island Blankets; Scott Minzy, book artist and printmaker; Antonia Small, film photographer and writer. The em-cee for the evening will be Midcoast Magnet’s Mary Bumiller.

PechaKucha Night is an internationally recognized event based on a unique presentation style in which artists, designers and other creative individuals share twenty images, with twenty seconds for each image. PechaKucha Nights are currently taking place in over 250 cities around the world.

In the past six months four such events have drawn record crowds in the Midcoast—most recently on August 14 outdoors at the Waterfall Art Center in Belfast, where over 300 guests gathered on the back lawn to enjoy a summer’s evening. The response continues to be inspiring, as a diverse group of presenters from the local area share images and stories of their work, their process and what inspires them to live and work as creative individuals among us.

Save the date for Friday, November 13 at Camden Opera House in Camden. Doors will open at 6:45 PM and the program will begin at 7:20 PM. For directions, visit . If the turnout is anything like the last four, it should make for quite an evening. The PechaKucha Rockland partners look forward to seeing you all and are excited to hear from the next group of presenters!
