The event is located at the Capsule performance space on Broadway Blvd. Capsule, which is located at 1664 Broadway Blvd, Kansas City, MO, is located next to Charlotte Street’s 2018 StartUp Residents Stray Cat Film Center! Parking can be located in the gravel parking lot behind Capsule off of 17th Street to the east side of Broadway Blvd. Street parking can also be found on Washing Street, Broadway Blvd and 17th Street!
Slide Slam 2019 is a great way for artists to introduce themselves to their peers and to supporters of Kansas City’s arts community. The presentation style, influenced by Pecha Kucha, consists of 3-minute slide presentations from each of the 32 incoming studio resident artists. These unique, fast-paced presentations are intended as an introduction to the work, ideas, processes, and personalities of these diverse artists individually. Attendees can learn and expect to see what these studio residents will produce in the upcoming year, and artists can use this presentation as a resource for possible collaborations amongst each other.
Of the 32 artists selected for the upcoming 2019-20 Studio Residency, 10 residents are performing artists, 16 of them are visual artists, and 6 of them are writers. 11 residents are returning for a second-year in the program. 28 artists currently reside in the Kansas City metro area, with 4 of them residing in Lawrence, KS. 112 artists applied for residency this year and residents were selected from a pool of regional jurors, including: Elvis Achelpohl (architectural designer at BNIM in Kansas City, MO), Jade Osborne (artist, activist and activator in Kansas City, MO), Jade Powers (Assistant Curator at Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art in Kansas City, MO), and Kati Toivanen (Professor at UMKC).
