PechaKucha Night
Are Galleries Dead? Not in NE!
When: Tuesday, July 23rd from 6 – 8pm
Where: Ritz Theater, 345 13th Ave, NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413
Nine Northeast gallery directors will present 20 slides in 20 seconds each on how they formed, who they represent and how they survive.
The program will feature the following galleries: 2001 A Space, Circa Gallery, IceBox Gallery, Kolman & Pryor Gallery, NE Sculpture Gallery Factory, Qarma Galleries, Rogue Buddha Gallery, Rosalux Gallery, and Tres Leches Gallery.
Herman Milligan, prominent art collector and NE-AD board member, will lead a discussion following the PechaKucha presentations. The discussion is intended to help inform the District leadership and the public on what is needed to sustain a thriving gallery culture. The definition of “gallery” may be changing to meet consumer preferences. At this PechaKucha we will explore how Northeast galleries have managed these changes and what the District can do to help.
Bring your questions to the Ritz Tuesday, July 23, 6 p.m. The event is free. Refreshments will be available. The event will conclude around 8 p.m., after which people will be gathering next door at Rogue Buddha Gallery for a reception and informal conversation. Donations ($5 recommended) are appreciated to offset venue expenses and the PechaKucha license.
Pecha Kucha Nights are a project of the Northeast Minneapolis Arts District’s HATCH committee, which is exploring the need for an arts center or online clearinghouse.
