Pecha Kucha Night is an international phenomenon where artists, designers, and creative minds come together for a live, high-energy extravaganza. The Pecha Kucha format, 20 slides for 20 seconds each, allows 8-16 presenters only 6 minutes and 40 seconds each to strut their stuff. This keeps presentations concise and the interest level up.

Sponsored by: UNISOURCE :: http://www.unisourcelink.com
and SMILE POLITELY :: http://www.smilepolitely.com

Our vibrant crowd of well over 350 people (including our 13 awesome presenters and 2 sparkling emcees) experienced an explosion of creativity with 10 rapid-fire presentations. From art quilts and knit graffiti to confectionery art and brotherly love; math graphics and architecture to high-quality antiques; back stories and everyday illustrations to a couple that wed at taco bell, you can really see how much creativity lies within Champaign-Urbana and neighboring communities.

A huge thanks to our sponsor Unisource, and to The Canopy Club, our emcees William Gillespie and Cristy Scoggins, our PK committee and CUDO team; to Indi Go Artist Co-op, Hathaways, Boltini for the after party, and all of you for making this night possible!

Weren’t able to attend? Can’t get enough of PK? Don’t fret! There’s more where that came from. Our next Pecha Kucha Night (Vol. 2) will be in January, so be sure to subscribe to our newsletter, or sign up to be a presenter: www.pecha-kucha.org/cities/champaign-urbana

We heart Pecha Kucha!
