techARTS – Uniting the Creative and Technology Communities
Building upon their success with the Twin Tech events, iStrategyLabs is launching a new initiative – techARTS. This event is designed to bring together the areas tech and creative communities.
The first techARTS is scheduled for Halloween, October 31st, at a yet to be disclosed location. What we do know is that the location is huge and will be a combination of indoor and outdoor venues. There are plans to display works and create interactive displays from various tech and artistic domains.
“techARTS is going let us scratch our creative itch a bit more. It will focus on merging Creative and Technology communities – helping them come together in mass to meet, find collaborators and show off their skills…If you push pixels, sling code, trickle paint, create content or belt out beats this is for you. Okay even if you don’t do that stuff – and you’re kinda awesome this is where you want to be.”
“We believe that a designer + a developer can = a startup. We’re going to use this techARTS Halloween party to see what kind of offspring the geeks and creatives can produce.”
When I first heard of this effort I immediately reached out to Peter Corbett to see if he wanted some photography support. My initial plans were to only photograph the event but after our first planning meeting my input has expanded. We’re discussing a photography display of images from local photographers, possibly based on a theme. We’re also planning on building a photo booth for the event.
Now comes the part where you come in. If you want to attend, and you know you do, the registration page can be found here. If you would like to assist me with the photography domain then contact me directly or leave a comment on this post. Peter is looking for sponsors to help offset the cost of the event, if you or your organization would like to participate as a sponsor please contact him. Lastly, you can participate in the TechArts awards by going to techAWARDS and/or artsAWARDS and nominating and voting for your favorite person or organization in each category.
The images in this post were from our first planning meeting held at the iStrategyLabs offices in Dupont Circle.
