The 10x10 events showcase and introduce a diverse group of leaders and creative minds from our community. Every few months, 10 speakers present 10 images of their work, interest, or inspiration. Slides advance automatically every 30 seconds with brief introductions between speakers. The 10x10s are intended as informal and fast-paced events. The event series is organized by Michael Halflants, Design Principal of Halflants + Pichette Architects, and Tim Jaeger, Painter and Chief Curator of Galleries at Ringling College. The 10x10s take place from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm. Presentations start at 6:00 pm. Admission is $15 per person in advance, or $20 at the door, to help cover the cash bar and room reservation costs. The events regularly draw 250 to 300 attendees.
The 10x10 is open to the public and is organized in association with the Gulf Coast Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
