Event Description

You are invited to join us for the Lone Star launch of SLIDELUCK POTSHOW. What is all this we are talking about? We are talking about a slideshow and we are talking about a potluck dinner.

Slideluck Potshow is a New York City-based, non-profit arts organization that provides an opportunity for artists and arts-appreciators to gather around food, friends, and artwork for an unforgettable night. This event, which began in a Seattle backyard eight years ago and regularly draws crowds of a thousand people in NYC, to Texas!

The evening begins with a couple hours of mingling and dining on the home-cooked delights of those who attend, and then the lights are dimmed, the crowd is hushed, and a spectacular slideshow commences. Please join us on Friday, November 21st, for an engaging, unique, and fun evening.

7pm Potluck | 9pm Slideshow | Afterparty to follow

Submit your artwork for SLPS Austin! We are currently seeking cohesive, creative, and thought-provoking submissions. Participants are encouraged to take creative risks, in terms of content and presentation. Submissions will be collected online in advance of the slideshow. Cutting-edge multimedia presentations are welcomed and all shows must be accompanied by music, commentary, or other audio surprises. Presentations are limited to five minutes or less. Please visit the Slideluck Potshow website for submission guidelines. The deadline for submissions is Friday, November 14th at 11:59pm.

The Austin-based projection will feature Central Texas emerging and established photographers and artists along with a sprinkling of international work. Photojournalists, painters, fashion and fine-art photographers all present work alongside one another in a relaxed and spirited atmosphere. Presenters range from the very accomplished to the up and coming, but regardless of status, everyone is given the same five-minute timeslot to shine. Past contributors to Slideluck Potshows include: The Guggenheim Foundation, Elliott Erwitt, Chris Jordan, Todd Hido, Elinor Carucci, Martin Schoeller, Alec Soth, Chris Buck, Alistair Thain, Spencer Tunick, Alex Majoli, Martin Parr, Alessandra Sanguinetti, Bruce Gilden, Nina Berman, Vincent Laforet and many others.

So get those submissions in by November 14th, then whip up your famous seven-layer dip, lobster ravioli, papaya salad, honey-glazed ham, or raspberry cheesecake and come check out a slammin’ slideshow!

Thank you for your time. We look forward to seeing you and yours on November 21st. Spread the word! Good times guaranteed.

Warm Regards,
SLPS Austin

Comment by Casey Kelbaugh on November 21, 2008 at 10:39am: I would refrain from bringing alcohol actually, since it IS a bar. That would be like bringing sand to the beach.
