72 Hour Art Slam fundraiser - showcase at the Prestige August 26th/2011.
This summer at ANKORS, we are planning an innovative and exciting event called a 72 Hour Art Slam. An art slam is an art competition—with a twist. Purely relying on creativity, originality, endurance and caffeine, teams or individuals will have 72 hours to create and submit an original piece of artwork. Participants can submit a film, poetry, theatre, song, painting, sculpture, dance—any type of artist expression. The only rules are the theme and prop (as given at the kick-off meeting) must be present in the final product, and the deadline is absolute. There will be CASH PRIZES ($250 for first place, $150 for second place and $50 for third place!). The competition will be held Friday August 19th to Monday August 22nd here in Nelson BC. There will then be a Showcase event with all of the art on Friday, August 26th. So even if you do not participate in the competition, be sure to come to the Showcase at the Prestige Resort Hotel in Nelson for an inspiring evening!
