Pecha Kucha Vol.7 is going to be a very special one!
As most of you know, the new Mint Museum building in uptown will have its Grand Opening on Friday, October 1. We will have a special Pecha Kucha Night in their main atrium, as a part of the 24-hour opening celebration.
What: Pecha Kucha Night Charlotte – Vol. 7
When: Friday, October 1, 11:59 PM – 1:59 AM.
Where: Mint Museum Uptown (500 S Tryon St. 28202)
[Admission to PK is free. However there is a $10 entry to the museum, which allows access to all the galleries and shows, as well as the 24-hour events/entertainment of the Grand Opening Night]
Be a part of this historic occasion – be a presenter!
Share the stage on one of the biggest ever cultural events in town, as all the attention of the community and the media is focused there. We know you have amazing, brilliant, and wildly creative things to share – and this is your chance to do it! As always, the only limitations are 20 images, 20 seconds per image, for a total of 6 minutes 40 seconds. No other rules, except – make it extraordinary!
Also note that this volume of PK would give preference to lighter and more performance-oriented presentations appropriate to the late timing of the event.
Why should you present?
It is an opportunity:
- to air your work/ideas, share your visions, express your concerns/critiques
- to challenge yourself to be concise and creative in getting your message across
- to present to a broad region-wide audience, in a casual social environment
- place yourself among the best creative talent in town
Pecha Kucha has become the one of the most acclaimed and popular cultural events in town. This special event should offer you an even more prominent a stage than ever before.

Please note: We will be limiting the total number for Vol. 7 to a maximum of 12 presentations. A panel made up of artists, designers, and architects from Point8, CLT Blog and God City will be selecting the final list of presenters. The selection will be based on the quality of the entries, and the originality of the theme/ideas submitted. The panelists will work with would-be presenters on refining ideas & honing quality of presentations.
Deadline for sending in the final presentation package: 5:00 PM on Monday, September 13.
