Project #18 Los Caminos
Why do we [Los Caminos] need a Sloup grant?
"For the past nine months Los Caminos has presented a diverse array of exhibitions featuring local and national artists. Because Los Caminos is neither a commercial gallery nor a 501(c)3 non-profit, we do not have the capabilities of generating income like other art spaces. While these factors inhibit us financially, they also give us complete freedom to allow artists to experiment. The space has been self-funded by Co-Directors Cole Root and Francesca Wilmott. With our first year coming to a close we are now faced with the expenses of continuing our ambitious programming through the summer and into the fall.
Sloup funds would be used for a variety of purposes in addition to general
operating expenses: installation and equipment costs for our upcoming summer and fall programming (this involves preparing the space for video installations), annual fees such as our domain renewal for our website which helps showcase the St. Louis art community on a global level, and shipping for our upcoming group exhibition which features artists from St. Louis, New York, and Chicago."
Congratulations Los Caminos - the sizable grant of $940 goes to you!
Very exciting - almost overwhelming Sloupers - this last Sloup at the Contemporary Art Museum St Louis was awesome! Thank you Alex Elmestad for hosting us and thank you Clara/Local Harvest for the delicious summer soup. So good to see so many new faces! Please come back next month at Firecracker Press for Sloup #19! Stay Tuned for more details about August and beyond!

Project #17 Carlie Trosclair
What are you making? "I will be creating an outdoor installation for Post Performance 3: A one night, site specific performance that pairs a visual artist with a musician. Post Performance takes place at The Old Post Office Plaza and is part of a monthly summer performance series hosted by The Luminary Center for the Arts.The event is free and open to the public. The work will be comprised of 5 to 7 freestanding sculptures, varying in height and width, ranging from 4‐8 ft tall. Fabric will be stretched and nailed to an abstract wooden frame to form a variety ofintersecting planes between the pieces of wood, and illuminated with colored lighting from within.
The lines and patterns of the architectural forms surrounding the site are used as inspiration for
the installation. The abstract shapes of the sculptures will be multi faceted and multi dimensional incomposition. Addressing themes of repetition, space and perception, the sculptures not only relate to place, but are also intended to provide a visual mimicry of the rhythmic sounds of the musiciansperforming: High Places"

Sloup #16 Cameron Fuller
Cameron Fuller and seven other brave Sloupers participated last week in our first-ever Sloup Proposal Workshop in assocation with the 3rd Annual Chautauqua Art Lab. The application Cam workshopped won over last night's voters with his proposal to create a drive-in style projection space at 4528 Ohio Street. The space will ultimately be host to experimental video screenings and an on-going short films series.
This Sloup was super-awesome right? (I do think we always say that - but really - especially so last night!)
Gina/VegaDeli, the White Bean Kale and Kale Potato soups were a-mazing! Thank you so much - please come back and visit Sloup!
We had 7 sweet proposals this time - so gets yours in among the mix next month.
Sloupers - look forward to the updated Sloup Archives to review all of the proposals that have been submitted.
