We invite you to participate in…
20:20
20:20 is a new program in conjunction with the WAC and UWAM symposium, "Public Art and Community, Inspiration and Reflection." Scheduled for Thursday, April 2, 10 p.m.-midnight, it follows the opening reception and Art Slam with artists Jesús Morales, Ursula von Rydingsvard and John Henry.
20:20 is a fast-paced presentation format whereby presenters are allotted 20 images (either in slide format or a PowerPoint), which are shown for 20 seconds each. The total presentation time is therefore only 6 minutes and 40 seconds. 20:20 is open to any registered conference attendee and is on a first-come, first-served basis. Advance sign-up is required. Presentations by individual artists, community organizations, art groups and educators are welcome. 20:20 is an opportunity to share new work and new ideas from across the state and the region.
The format of 20:20 is borrowed from a program first developed in Japan by two architects who were looking for a new way to present design ideas in an upbeat and exciting way. And to prevent presenters from droning on and on.
Events like 20:20 now occur internationally as specially organized evening events where the focus is on sharing information and community participation.
