Chew on This

"Chew on This"  invites artists to explore the creative, cultural, and visual power of food. From literal depictions of meals and ingredients to conceptual interpretations of consumption, community, and nourishment.

“Chew on This” encourages artists to push boundaries and think outside the box. Whether your work is playful, provocative, nostalgic, or abstract, curators want to see how creative you can get with your food.

This in person exhibition will feature artwork across a wide range of media, including collage, drawing, painting, photography, sculpture, ceramics, fiber, mixed media, and more. From 2D works to fully realized 3D installations, “Chew on This” highlights the many ways artists can interpret and transform food into compelling visual experiences.

If it involves food—or is inspired by it—we want to see it.
