Nicanor -
I would suggest you get in touch with/join the local BCID chapter. They try and organize events for the local ID community and are always looking for people to help cultivate new ideas and build the community.
The most recent event was an opportunity to collaborate with the IDSWest show in turning old phone booths into something “new” - The results will be shown at the IDS show this fall.
Their next event is a BBQ at Trout Lake on August 26th co-hosted with the local graphic design chapter.
