Islip Art Museum Slide Slam Part 3 Takes Place at Long Island Museum

The Islip Art Museum co-hosts its third and final 2016 Slide Slam revealing Long Island artists on Saturday, November 12, 2016 at the Long Island Museum in Stony Brook. Slide Slam is designed to showcase artists currently working on Long Island. It also aims to cross-pollinate communities on Long Island (Nassau, Suffolk, Queens and Brooklyn) to heighten awareness that contemporary artists are located across Long Island. The program will also introduce selected artists to Long Island art communities in a series curated shows set in Suffolk County.

For each Slide Slide events, artists have five minutes to present their work to an audience that includes curators and arts professionals. The event wraps up with a networking meet and greet where the audience and the artists mingle.

Slide Slam 3 at the Long Island Museum features 17 artists plus guest speaker artist and curator John Cino. Presenting artists are Chris Ann Ambery, Anu Annam, Robyn Bellospirito, JoAnne Dumas, Cara Enteles, Adel Gorgy, Bennett Horowitz, Adam Inzalaco, Lorena Kalaja, Dan Lachacz, Bruce Lieberman, Linda Louis, Jeffrey Allen Price, David Rodgers, Joseph Rotella, Thomas Ruggio and Mark Strodl.

The 2016 Islip Art Museum Slide Slam Series included collaborations with The Patchogue Arts Council, RIPE Art and the Long Island Museum. The IAM 2016 Slide Slam Series is part of the IAM Unifying Project, funded in part by Suffolk County.
