A virtual art walk of Kaori Fukuyama's multi-disciplinary work and a facilitated panel with local creatives

DECEMBER 3, 2020 AT 5:30 PM PACIFIC
For tickets: Eventbright

Border is pleased to present our second ENGAGE Art Show & Shindig Light After Dark featuring San Diego-based artist and designer Kaori Fukuyama. The event will be broadcast live from Border's offices at Torr Kaelan in East Village with participants viewing the works via a virtual art walk on their computers or devices using Zoom. The event is open to all ages.

THE PANEL CONVERSATION 6:40pm - 7:30pm

A conversation with Kaori and other panelists on the theme will be held after the art walks. The audience will be invited to join the conversation by submitting their questions in the virtual chat during the Q&A once the panelists provide their perspective on the the topic.

We hope this is a group conversation inspired by the artwork and guided by the panelists. We want this panel to be as interactive as possible within the constraints of the virtual medium.
