10 X 10
The 10 x 10's are events intended to introduce a diverse group of leaders and creative minds to our community. Every few months, 10 speakers present 10 images of their work, interest, or inspiration. Slides automatically advance with brief introductions between speakers. It's intended as an informal and face paced event. Past speakers have included curators, painters, politicians, musicians, writers, and community activists. Michael Halflants has organized the event series since 2009.
