Gallery Exhibition | Good Enough to Eat*
Gallery Events | August 11, 2018 - September 23, 2018
Tamarack’s David L. Dickirson Fine Arts Gallery is hosting Good Enough to Eat*, an art exhibition. The exhibition will feature artists’ works from around the state, in a multitude of media. The opening reception is August 11, 5 – 7pm, in the gallery, with live music by Sam Stephens.
“Tell me what you eat and I will tell you what you are.” - Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin
A traditional still life of fruits and veggies, abstract interpretations of “food porn,” a classic teacup and saucer combo, conceptual social commentary of the food industry, an unexpected serving platter; everything food related is on the menu for this exhibition. Good Enough to Eat* …, is an exhibition of fine art and craft celebrating food. Tamarack’s David L. Dickirson Fine Art Gallery is seeking a vast breadth of two and three dimensional artwork, decorative and functional, in any media that corresponds with the theme of food.
