Slideluck Potshow
Ever read about cool art events that took place in Paris in the '20s -- or New York in the '50 or '80s -- and thought, "Gee, I wish there were something like that now"? There is: Slideluck Potshow. This NYC-based non-profit brings artists and art lovers together for lively slide shows and potluck suppers around the globe. Everyone is asked to bring something good to eat and drink, then everyone watches slideshows of up to 40 local and international artists. How neat is that?On March 29th, there's a NYC event in conjunction with the Armory Show. Later this spring, I'm delighted to report that Slideluck Potshow is planning two events in Canada -- tentative dates are May 21 in Montreal and May 24 in Toronto. Anyone who wants to help should contact the organizers.

This is one example to add to my list of reasons I must to move to a livelier city. I wish Boston's art scene were as involved. There are definitely some worth wile artists and events here, but I don't believe the scene makes room for new artists. The events that do showcase new artists are more like cool college parties than anything. I suppose it has a lot to do with Boston's demographic. Here is an artist from the Boston area you just may appreciate by the way.

Thanks for sharing this info.I will look into it .

I totally understand your frustration.I went to college, lived and showed artwork in Boston. There is an art community there but, it is like the city itself conservative, limited and you really need to know somebody to join in.
Best advice is to go to the Open Studios Events at Fort Point Channel (still has a strong art community) , South End Open Studios and hit every possible art gallery opening.
Most Boston artists right after they start getting recognition their next stop is New York.
In addition Provincetown, MA.(the oldest art community in America) has a very strong art community and organizations.
