Following
the largely successful events in cities around the world, Slideluck
Atlanta kicks off its inaugural year during Atlanta
Celebrates Photography, who has partnered with Slideluck Atlanta to
share this event with the arts community. Slideluck Atlanta presents a
slideshow and a potluck dinner in which members of the Atlanta arts and
photography communities bring food and drink
before the screening of the multimedia slideshow that incorporates a
curated show from the Slideluck Atlanta Call for Entry. The evening
begins with a couple of hours of dining on the home-cooked delights,
beverages from national sponsors, and mingling with
fellow artists and supporters. Following the potluck, the lights are
dimmed, the crowd is hushed, and a spectacular slideshow commences.
Slideluck
Atlanta will present the multimedia slideshow composed of work
submitted during the Slideluck Call for Entry. We are please
to welcome David Bram, fine art photographer, curator, and founder of
Fraction magazine, to act as our guest curator of the submissions. (More
information about David Bram can be found here:
http://fractionmagazine.com/).
Both the Slideluck Atlanta Call for Entry and the event are free and
inclusive of all artists. The Deadline to enter the Call for Entry is
Friday, September 7, 2012. Please inquire for more
details.
Slideluck,
formerly known as Slideluck Potshow, is a non-profit (501c3) forum for
exposing artists, curators, and editors to
new work, while infusing the arts community with a non-commercial
vitality and refreshing exchange. Photojournalists, painters, sculptors,
designers, fashion, and fine art photographers all show their work
alongside each other in a relaxed and spirited atmosphere.
More than anything else, this is a fun, inspiring evening, that is
meant to remind us why we create in the first place. Please visit our
web site http://www.slideluckpotshow.com or

WHO:
The event is free and open to the Atlanta art community and the
slideshow will feature artists on a local, national, and international
scale. Slideluck is an opportunity for artists and arts-appreciators to
come together and share their work in a congenial, non-competitive
atmosphere. Presenters range from the very accomplished to the
up-and-coming, but regardless of status, none is allotted
more than 5 minutes for their slideshow. Past contributors have
included: The Guggenheim Foundation, Elliot Erwitt, Chris Jordan, Elinor
Carucci, Martin Schoeller, Alec Soth, Nina Berman, Alex Majoli, Doug
Menuez, Bruce Gilden, Robert Doisneau, Vincent Laforet
and many others. The submission deadline is Friday September 7, 2012.

organizing 3 events a year in NYC and about 40 cities globally,
including Berlin, Mexico City, Bogotá, London, Milan, São Paulo,
Chicago, Barcelona, and Copenhagen.
