DESCRIPTION:MFA Now 2014 Slide Slam\nSlide Slam Presentation: Wednesday, February 19, 
 7-9 pm\n\nSAN FRANCISCO, CA – Root Division presents the MFA Now 2014 
 Slide Slam, featuring presentations by 12 current MFA candidates in seven 
 Bay Area programs. \nMFA Now began in 2012 in efforts to create dialogue 
 and community between the Bay Area schools that are listed in a US News and 
 World Report survey from 2012, as part of the top one hundred MFA Programs 
 in Visual Arts in the country: California College of the Arts, Mills 
 College, San Francisco Art Institute, San Francisco State University, San 
 Jose State University, Stanford University, and the University of 
 California, Berkeley. This year’s presentation includes a comprehensive 
 archive catalogue, juried exhibition, and slide slam. \n\nThe MFA Now 2014 
 Archive, is an inclusionary publication of all eligible MFA candidates with 
 a full page dedicated to each contributing MFA candidate and a compilation 
 of essays by Juror, Donna Napper, faculty from each MFA program, and Root 
 Division staff. Designed by the Gold Collective, this printed archive will 
 serve to navigate the contemporary moment in Bay Area MFA programs and find 
 connections between the artists and institutions. \n\nJuror, Donna Napper, 
 curator of the San Jose Institute of Contemporary Art, selected seventeen 
 works from the submitted archive materials to be shown in Root Division's 
 gallery for the month of February.  This Second Saturday event serves as an 
 exhibition opening and release party for the archive project. Copies of the 
 archive publication will be for sale at the exhibition opening or during 
 business hours for $20\n\nThe Slide Slam offers another opportunity for 
 professional development in which emerging artists gain exposure and meet 
 and interact with audiences. It also allows for the community to gain 
 further insight into the work of up and coming local artists.\n\nSLIDE SLAM
