Pecha Kucha - March 26th

Open Call for Entries


What Is It? 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 Night Rockland spans the midcoast, from Thomaston to Belfast, and strengthens community by bringing people of all ages together to consider ideas and images presented by various creative makers and thinkers in our area. While grounded in the visual arts, PechaKucha Night Rockland is open to a spectrum of imaginative endeavors and encourages visual storytelling as a way of sharing personal projects and introducing fresh perspectives. The organizing partners hope the evenings will result in new connections, deepened discussions, and in some cases, lead to future projects and collaborations.

What to Present? For the March 26th event at the Lincoln Street Center in Rockland, the selection committee is looking for a range of work from designers, inventors, visual artists, architects, chefs, boatbuilders, etc. While the committee can only accept eight presenters for our March event, keep in mind that there will be more PechaKucha Night events in the midcoast area in 2010 and once you submit, you can be considered for future dates.

If you are interested in becoming a presenter at the March event, please email rockland@pechakuchamaine.org no later than Friday, February 26th with the following information: 1.) your name and contact information (mailing address, phone number, email), 2.) the medium you work in, 3.) a brief description of your work and your process, along with an overview of the story you’d like to tell (250 word maximum) and 4.) a link to your website or five low-resolution images of the work you'd like to present. Submissions received after February 26th will be considered for future PechaKucha Night events.

If you have any questions, please email rockland@pechakuchamaine.org
