Slideluck is a forum for exposing artists, curators, reps, and editors to new work, while infusing the arts community with a non-commercial vitality and refreshing exchange.

Slideluck has become a place for community members to come together and share their appreciation for food and art in a casual, inclusive atmosphere. More than anything else, Slideluck is an exhilarating and stimulating occasion that is meant to remind us of why we create in the first place.

The evening begins with a bountiful potluck dinner and then the lights are dimmed, the crowd is hushed, and a spectacular slideshow showcasing the work of local and international artists commences . . .

Photography selections have been made by our jury of curators…Gina Hole (Producer/Agent at THEY Rep & Owner of Sugar Studios), Ian McGuffie (Head of Digital Photography at VANARTS) and Brian Hendricks (Senior Editor at HOBO Magazine)  For more info please visit: http://slideluckpotshow.com/submissions
