Скачать или смотреть Make Your Bold Ideas Real: Jean Maginnis at TEDxYouth@CEHS

Five years ago, when riding her bike near the oil tank "farm" in South Portland, Jean Maginnis, Executive Director and Founder of the Maine Center for Creativity, didn't see industrial clutter, she saw the world's largest blank canvas ready for an artist's touch. Thus was born the idea for Art All Around™ project, an international design competition created to put Maine on the map for creativity and innovation. Art All Around™, which received 560 proposals from 80 countries to paint art on the above ground storage tanks owned by Sprague Portland, is the largest public art painting project in the world and the first public art project planned with satellite view in mind. In addition to her work on Art All Around™, as E.D. of the Maine Center for Creativity, Ms. Maginnis is responsible for creating professional development programs to support creative industries and future growth of creativity here in Maine. Recently, her organization was presented with a special award for Creative Enterprise by the advertising club of Maine. In 2011, Jean was asked to speak at the National American for the Arts Convention in San Diego and in New York City at Lincoln Center Institute for the Imagination Conversation initiative. She lives in South Portland, is married and has two sons.

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)
