Pecha Kucha will be held in conjunction with the food-themed Yummy! art exhibit at Junctionview’s Matchbox Gallery. Curated by Amy Neiwirth, it features works by more than 40 local artists (several of whom are presenting at Pecha Kucha) and is a fundraiser for the Mid-Ohio Foodbank; attendees can bring nonperishable food items or make donations. Local musicians will perform at 7:00 p.m., local food vendors Rad Dogveg and Pattycake Vegan Bakery will sell refreshments throughout the evening, and local filmmaker Matt Meindl will screen his Super 8 comedy short “T-shirt of Me” after the Pecha Kucha event.

Attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets. If it rains, the event will be held inside of Junctionview. The suggested donation is two dollars per person. Junctionview is located at 889 Williams Avenue in Grandview.
