CREATIVE EXCHANGE OFFERS
BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES FOR BUYERS, SELLERS
Whether your company buys creative graphic services or you're in the
business of selling such services, you need to mark your calendar for
Tuesday, Oct. 7, for the second annual Creative Exchange to be held at the
Knoxville Museum of Art.
Last year's Creative Exchange, a trade show for East Tennessee's graphic
designers, illustrators, photographers, copywriters, audio and video
producers, print buyers, printing services, Internet and multi- media
designers and providers drew more than 450 attendees and 71 exhibitors. The
non-profit, all-volunteer event raised more than $5,000 for the museum.
This year's event promises to be even bigger and better. Keynote speaker is
Lowell Cunningham, creator of the comic characters that inspired the megahit
movie, "Men in Black." Hours for the event have been expanded to noon to 9
p.m. Major sponsors are Lockheed Martin Corp., CT Image Communications and
Lamar Outdoor Advertising. Major presenters are Adobe and MetaCreations
software developers, Apple Computer and the American Institute of Graphic
Arts. Media sponsor is the Knoxville News-Sentinel.
Apple Computer plans to demonstrate for the first time its new QuickTime
virtual reality authoring studio, plus a number of other innovative new
products. Of particular interest to art educators is a presentation by
MetaCreations' Dave Roberts of Atlanta, who will speak on the creation of a
new art form through technology.
Costs are $50 to exhibit, $25 to provide fact sheets only on your business,
and $10 to attend. Preregistration is encouraged.
