Each year we commemorate the courage, strength, openness, and interdependence that both STREB and SLAM embody as we honor an Action Maverick, an individual who exists as a constant and eternal reminder of all the moves yet left to do.
From the Oslo Opera House
to the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
to the 9/11 Memorial Museum Pavilion,
this inspired groundbreaking work
identifies these novel and brilliant architects.
Join us as we celebrate our
Action Mavericks,
SNØHETTA.
What is an Action Maverick?
An original. A person that breaks the rules, re-interprets or establishes new parameters of their craft. New artistic, educational, scientific visions.
A risk taker. A hero.
The Action Maverick Award Benefit celebrates the bravery, strength, courage, openness and interdependence that both SLAM and STREB embody. It manifests the possibilities inherent in a unique place like SLAM. Funds raised from the Action Maverick Benefit support free and low cost SLAM programming, numerous community partnerships and creative collaborations that change lives. Each year at SLAM, 7,000 artists and students of all ages and socio-economic backgrounds push internal and external boundaries to create a unique and growing community through Extreme Action.
