Sat., May 24th: SLIDELUCK POTSHOW Toronto

That’s right— you are invited to join us for the Canadian launch of SLIDELUCK POTSHOW. What is this we are talking about? We are talking about a slideshow and we are talking about a potluck dinner.

Slideluck Potshow is a New York City-based non-profit arts organization that provides an opportunity for artists and arts-appreciators to gather around food, friends, and artwork for an unforgettable night. Slideluck is teaming up with the CONTACT Toronto Photography Festival to bring this event, which began in a Seattle backyard eight years ago and regularly draws a thousand people to shows in NYC, to College Street!

The evening begins with a couple hours of mingling and dining on the home-cooked delights of those who attend, and then the lights are dimmed, the crowd is hushed, and a spectacular slideshow commences. Please join us on Saturday, May 24, at for an engaging, unique, and fun evening.

Submit your artwork for SLPS Toronto! We are currently seeking cohesive, creative, and thought-provoking submissions. Participants are encouraged to take creative risks, in terms of content and presentation. Submissions will be collected online in advance of the slideshow. Cutting-edge multimedia presentations are welcomed and all shows must be accompanied by music, commentary, or other audio surprises. Presentations are limited to five minutes or less. Please visit the Slideluck Potshow website (http://www.slideluckpotshow.com/toronto.php) for submission guidelines. The deadline for submissions is Wednesday, May 21st.

So grab a bottle of your favorite wine or a six pack of beer, and bring your famous seven-layer dip, lobster ravioli, papaya salad, or raspberry cheesecake and come check out a slammin’ slideshow!

Thank you for your time. We look forward to seeing you and yours on May 24th. Spread the word! Good times guaranteed.

Warm Regards,
Casey
