Call for Artists - All Things Edible
Juried for Prizes Only
All Entries Accepted and Exhibited
Food is at the center of many of life’s most important events. When we gather together for a meal, the dishes we share often tell a story—and we share a bit of ourselves. Still lifes, genre scenes, cartoons, photographs, and sculpture may illustrate both the serious and the humorous sides of food as a symbol of cultural identities, celebrations and expressions of comfort, memories and joy.
We invite artists to explore and celebrate “All Things Edible”.
