Art Slam
November 18, 2009
6:30 - 9 pm
Rialto Theater
Free to the public
In celebration of the 8th anniversary of Art at Work:
Tacoma Arts Month, the Tacoma Arts Commission is hosting an Art
Slam on Wednesday, November 18. Doors open at 6:30 and the event runs
from 7 to 9 pm at the Rialto Theater in
downtown Tacoma.
Join us for a reception in the
Rialto
lobby following the event, allowing community members an opportunity to
mingle.
What is an Art Slam? In a fast-paced format, a selection of work by
local visual and performing artists will be projected on the big screen,
set to a soundtrack of musical accompaniment. Live performances by
spoken word artists will be interspersed between segments of the show.
An accompanying description of artists’ work and contact information
will be included in a program.
Artists
of all mediums and genres will show their work, ranging from the very
accomplished to the up and coming. Everyone presents their work in the
same format. The Art Slam is a place for artists and art enthusiasts to
gather and share their work in a non-competitive atmosphere. The event
is meant to be a fun, relaxed and inspiring evening, reminding us why we
create art in the first place.
In addition to the live November 18 show, the Art Slam will be
available for free public viewing on Click! ON Demand’s TacomaArt
& Culture channel through December 2010. ON Demand is accessible to
anyone who is a Click! Cable TV customer with a digital receiver.
If you have any questions, please contact Naomi at
(253) 591-5191 or by email at nstrom-avila@cityoftacoma.org
