Partnering with The Clymb, the Adventure Travel Trade Association (ATTA) travel professional community and adventure travelers merge for a very special AdventureConnect on March 27th featuring Adventure Photographer and Instagram rockstar Chris Burkard. This will be the ATTA’s first event providing a fun and lively space for the adventure and outdoor industries to mingle with each other and adventure enthusiasts from the Pacific Northwest. Enjoy a gallery setting with work from Chris and local artist Jesse Reno on display with the theme of “The Adventure Outside + The Adventure Within”.
Speaker: Chris Burkard is a self-taught photographer and artist, based in Central Coast California, whose work is layered by surf, outdoor, lifestyle and travel subjects. Chris will be reprising his recent TED talk, sharing stories from his travels to remote, risky and often frigid locations to capture stunning images that turn traditional surf and adventure photography on its head.
Fine Artist, Jesse Reno is a self-taught mixed media painter. He has been drawing since he could hold a pencil, and painting and exhibiting his works since 2000. Jesse has amassed over 3,000 paintings in the last 12 years, and has exhibited his work extensively across the US and Canada as well as France and Mexico. Jesse’s work has been covered in various art publications including Juxtapoz, Artnews, Artension, dpi and Somerset Studio. One of his largest works can be seen in Winnipeg, Canada where he was commissioned by the Province of Manitoba to create a 25 x 40 ft mural as a reminder to the cultural importance of the Native American people in the region.
