Participate in JPEG Jam: 30 Artists!
30 Minutes!
This event takes place during all 3 workshops: modeled after the Pecha Kucha slideshow format, JPEG Jam provides an opportunity for artists registered in the “Taking Care of Business” workshop series to show their work in an informal setting. Artists who register to participate in JPEG Jam will be invited, via e-mail, to contribute 5 images of their work to a Picasa photo gallery. JPEG Jam is limited to 30 artists, so register early.
On the day of the workshop the Picasa gallery will be projected as a slideshow and registered artists will have an opportunity to mingle and discuss their studio practice.
To participate in JPEG Jam please send an email to John Bent at John.Bent@ct.gov.
An e-mail invitation containing the link to the JPEG Jam gallery will be sent to the e-mail address you provide. Thanks for participating in this networking event! If you have technical questions please contact John at 860-256-2736.
