Thanks to everyone who made TEDxTucson Wonder Of We such a success! Here are some of our talks and we look forward to more in 2012.
We’re very happy to announce that TEDxTucson’s Wonder Of We public art project inspired by the French artist JR has been awarded a Tucson Pima Arts Council P.L.A.C.E. grant. The first installation of portraits took place January 22 at the main Library downtown and here is a video documenting the installation.
You can participate in the Wonder Of We 2012 art project! May 5 6PM at Mercado St Agustin – TEDxSalon, art exhibit of portraits from Carillo Elementary art class as part of the Wonder Of We project and Convento Nights!
Your ticket purchase is the only source of revenue for this event and goes towards all related costs. This is not for profit, TEDxTucson and the volunteers who work so hard to make this happen are not paid, and the organizer does not keep any of the ticket proceeds. All of your money goes back into our local economy to pay for the costs associated with the event.
What is TEDx? In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxTucson, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxTucson event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
