Give us five minutes of your time. That’s all we ask. And in return we’ll give you seventy-five more. That’s right: eighty full minutes of cutting edge contemporary art. Come to the Bemis Center on Thursday, March 1, at 6:00 p.m. for Slide Jam, an event where sixteen regional artists get to strut their stuff and introduce the public to their latest work. Local musician Bill Hoover kicks off the event at 6:00 to get the crowd in the mood, and starting at 7:00, the Slide Jam begins. Each artist has only five minutes to give their presentations.

Sixteen artists at five minutes a pop: that means eighty fast-paced, action-packed minutes of the freshest, fastest art in town. Slide Jam is FREE and OPEN to the public.
