Sendai hosts a very very popular Art Show (this will be the show's 6th year, last year had over 500 people attend). Of course I HAD to join the committee to help organize this fabulous event.
There were 9 or 10 of us there, and during our first meeting, we had to come up with the theme. Last years theme was "Freestyle", the year before was "Pulse". I suggested "Art Bento". Turns out, everyone really liked it!
So the show is called, and will be themed ART BENTO. I am very excited. So many ideas to work with!
Other than displaying JET artwork (from the city and prefecture), the MAIN purpose of the event is to reach out to the Sendai/Miyagi community by sharing our international/cultural talents. So we are going to have about 10 workshops over 2 days (1st night is the opening gala). I will probably do a printmaking workshop too... on top of my other tasks which include:
Opening Gala Producer (hang the show, coordinate performances and interviews, arrange food situation, make sure people leave on time.. etc)
and
Graphic Designer (this event is driven heavily by advertising, and we are going to have professional fliers and posters made.. another girl and I will work together on this...)
Finally, everything I have ever wanted to do in a job - ALL IN ONE PLACE! WOO!
