Sideluck Atlanta

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 like us on facebook http://www.facebook.com/slpsatlanta. 

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.

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.
