Be a Member of the Arts Guild 
You can learn a lot about creativity in six minutes forty seconds. Twenty slides worth, in fact, say organizers of the Chewelah Arts Guild's PechaKucha event. PechaKucha started in Japan as a way for designers to share their work with others. The Chewelah Arts Guild has adopted this speedy presentation format, so that viewers can get a taste of work of local creatives.
On June 1 Peter Roesler, Chris Lehwalder, K.S. Brooks, Gary Roach and Gary Benedict will share 20 slides about their art or event in less than seven minutes. Bud Evans inspired this presentation style after having attended a PechaKucha event at a dental convention. Evans searched around and found the closest PechaKucha event was in Ellensburg, Washington and so he decided to bring the concept to Chewelah. The fast pace allows for interest to build around art while providing exposure to many different creative people in one evening. PechaKucha is a free event and very popular so be sure and come early to get a seat. The 2022 Chewelah Arts Guild
