Call for Submissions: Sacred Spaces Slideshow
 
The Asian American Arts Alliance (a4) and Slideluck Potshow (SLPS) have come together to present "Sacred Spaces: A Slideluck Potshow" on Sunday, October 2, 2011, 5.30pm at the Judson Memorial Church in New York City. The event is part of a4's fall 2011 Call & Response mini-series.
a4 & SLPS invite artists to submit photographs, or images of artwork, on the theme "Sacred Spaces". In this time of deep global uncertainty--economically, politically, culturally--what places enable you to reflect, to make sense of it all, and to find your place in the world? What does "sacred space" mean to you or your community?
The work of the selected artists will be projected inside the majestic Judson Memorial Church, which is home to an extraordinarily diverse congregation and continues to be a bastion for civil rights and spiritual inquiry in these challenging times.
Submission Deadline: August 22, 2011

Creating contemporary dance vocabularies with abandon, "So Long for Now" is a pure dance with intoxicating style, physical power and sensuality, surging with bold and charged movement.
