There are still a few tickets available for our PechaKucha event next week on Thursday 6 Nov in Juniper Green. Tickets are free.

The event will feature some of the exhibiting artists (Gary Anderson, Pen Reid, Gill Walton) presenting their work in a unique way. This visually rich format allows for really interesting talks about the artist’s ideas and process. The artists will also be exhibiting some of their work on easels.

In addition, John Elliott will talk about the highs and lows of creating a new professional Open Studios Art Trail event starting from nothing in just six months. 

The PechaKucha 20×20 presentation format is a slide show of 20 images, each auto-advancing after 20 seconds. It’s non-stop and you’ve got 400 seconds to tell your story, with visuals guiding the way. PechaKucha was created in Japan in 2003 by renowned architects, Astrid Klein and Mark Dytham. The word “PechaKucha” is Japanese for “chit chat.”

Looking ahead to 2026, Jenny Matthews will have two classes running at the Hub in Juniper Green. Numbers are limited to 7 per class:
