TEDxLaf - Bryan Hendrickson - The B Home October 4, 2011

Favorite:

Bryan Hendrickson is a recent Civil Engineering grad from Lafayette. He has been living and working in Trenton, New Jersey at a metal fabrication and sculpture studio, working in primarily reclaimed and salvage materials. He has also been bringing interactive art to the streets of Trenton in an effort to engage the public in the creative process. He is also a huge advocate of locally grown foods, and am coordinating efforts with City and County Officials, as well as other local non-profit organizations toward a number of public improvement projects including community gardens, public art installation, and educational and vocational enrichment opportunities for local high school students.

He is a member of a community of artists, which has been in the process of forming the Trenton Atelier, a non-profit application pending review. The Trenton Atelier is an eco-arts workshop offering the resources, knowledge, and tools necessary to experiment in the creative industrial arts. It's mission is to foster a self-sustaining community of collaborative artists that engage people through transforming ideas to artistry: experimenting both in a cooperative workshop space and bringing art to the streets and communities within Trenton and beyond.

AboutTEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
