Art Slam
November 21, 2008
6:30 - 9 pm
Rialto Theater
In celebration of the 7th anniversary of Tacoma
’s Art at Work month, the Tacoma Arts Commission is hosting an Art
Slam on Friday, November 21st. 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.
This event was developed to provide an opportunity for local artists
to view a sampling of their work alongside the work of their peers. It
will also provide an opportunity for local collectors and art
enthusiasts to see the art that is being produced in the South Sound
region. Artists working in a broad spectrum of media, including visual
art, music, dance, performance, literary, and film, are encouraged to
submit work.
Applications to participate in the Art Slam are currently available. Artists must be current residents of the
South Puget Sound
region to submit work. There is no fee to enter work into the Art Slam.
What
is an Art Slam? In a fast-paced format, a selection of work by local
artists will be projected on the big screen. Spoken word artists will
also perform as part of this year’s 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.
