Welcome again to PechaKucha Night Cleveland!
For anyone that was able to make Volume 1 or Volume 2, THANK YOU! Between Volume 1 and Volume 2 we have had over 500 people and 28 presenters come together to discuss Fashion, Architecture, Graphic Design, Illustration, Community, Food, Photography, Porches, Furniture, Murals, Craigslist, Art, Cities, Graffiti, and even the willful abandonment of physical locale for digital presence.
We have an exciting summer ahead of us, all starting at the Museum of Contemporary Art Cleveland (MOCA) on Friday, May 8th @ 8:20pm (doors open at 7:00pm). We also already have two PechaKucha Nights planned for the summer - if we get ambitious we may just try to find a way to fit a third in there somewhere. So don't forget to check the webpage for those date announcements throughout the next few weeks.
As many of you know, this presentation event includes 14 speakers; each speaker gets 20 slides for 20 seconds per slide to discuss their work, ideas, and obsessions. Hopefully through these creative show and tells we will be able to break down any barriers between the different design communities, expose new talent and ideas, provide a new perspective on established talent, foster profitable collaborations amongst the presenters and audience members, and provide the community one more ridiculously interesting reason to continue creating.
If you are interesting in presenting at a future PechaKucha Night Cleveland, have an idea for a venue, or have questions about PechaKucha Night, please contact us @
