“a feast for the eyes”
Juried Show
Exhibit Dates: December 1-30, 2022
Food is a part of everyday life. It sustains us but is often taken for granted. Artists’ brains often look for beauty in the mundane. The James Memorial Art Center is asking you to explore your relationship with food and create a piece of artwork reflecting your feelings and vision of food.
A Feast for the Eyes will be displayed in Gallery I December 5-30, 2022. This is a Juried exhibit with best of show, 1st, and 2nd place winners. An Artist Reception cohosted by the exhibit sponsor (Cooks on Main) will be held at the James on the tentative date of Thursday, December 8 from 7-8:30 PM.
