Event Details

"The culture industry has infiltrated every industry, artists have moved from the exterior of our economy to its center. Disney now licences its images to egg farmers. Eggs now have Disney characters printed on the shells and you can scramble Mickey for breakfast. Everything from food to luggage to phones and pens to insurance forms is transformed by design and art and insight.

If art is about humanity, and commerce has become about interactions (not stuff), then commerce is now about art, too."

This quote from Seth Godins' book Lynchpin sums up the reason for this Wednesday's dinner. Tapping into your inner artist is (ironically) a path towards greater economic security!

We'll explore ways to move beyond just "thinking outside the box" to JUST GO DO and make the connections to create the art the world so highly values.

Hector Marquez II from Auburn, CA, director and producer of Dark Truths will share his experience of jumping out of the box and creating the world’s first feature length 3D film designed specifically for mobile devices. Dark Truths is as much an urban crime thriller as it is a whole new way of creating and distributing movies using grassroots techniques and pioneering 3D camera technology. See CBS coverage.

Prepare yourself, and come with your mind open... and ready to JUMP for this dinner to remember!
