Sculpture Center ARTSlam
The International Sculpture Center announced an ARTSlam virtual session on April 17 where artists will present 10–15 slides of current work for rapid feedback. (x.com) The event is positioned as a brief, slide‑based critique format for working artists. (x.com)
The International Sculpture Center is holding a virtual ARTSlam on Friday, April 17, giving artists 10 minutes each to present current work for live feedback. (sculpture.org) The session runs from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. Eastern on Zoom, and the organization says each presenter can show 10 to 15 slides. It caps the format at four presenters per session. (sculpture.org) The International Sculpture Center says ARTSlam sessions are usually held during its International Sculpture Conference and are designed for “constructive dialogue” around works in progress. The April 17 event moves that critique format into a one-hour online slot. (sculpture.org) The group describes itself as a member-supported nonprofit founded in 1960 to advance the creation and understanding of sculpture. Its event calendar says it runs virtual and in-person programs throughout the year, including conferences, exhibitions, fairs and International Sculpture Day programming. (sculpture.org, sculpture.org) The format is built around speed and compression: 10 to 15 images, 10 minutes, and a maximum of four artists in a single hour. That turns the session into a short critique rather than a formal lecture or full portfolio review. (sculpture.org) The April 17 listing follows another ARTSlam session the center held on March 20, also on Zoom from 1:00 to 2:00 p.m. Eastern with the same 10-to-15-slide and 10-minute limits. The March session’s registration page showed 26 people registered after online registration closed. (sculpture.org) The center also promotes similar member programming through its broader network. A Chicago Sculpture International page for International Sculpture Day lists access to “Weekly Art Slams,” artist talks and virtual critique sessions among International Sculpture Center member benefits. (chicagosculpture.org) Registration for the April 17 ARTSlam remains open through the day of the event, according to the center’s event page. As of the latest listing captured by the site, one person had registered. (sculpture.org)
