Food for Thought
Food is a daily necessity, and so much more. It nourishes not only our bodies but our identities, traditions, and values. Across cultures and histories, food has served as a powerful symbol—appearing in classical still lifes, becoming a statement in art movements like Pop Art through works like Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup cans, and continuing to spark conversation today. Food is also inherently political: how it’s grown, sourced, and consumed invites deeper questions about sustainability, labor, and equity. This exhibition seeks to bring together a diverse range of 2D, 3D and digital artworks that explore the many roles food plays in our lives—personal, cultural, aesthetic, and political.

OOPS We Painted - Drawing Club
Drawing Club: Oops We Painted will feature a series of food themed painted still-life's. In the spirit of Drawing Club, they are studies; a practice for the artist. Not to overthink it. To do a couple of quick sketches spending no more than a couple of hours on each study. These quick sketches are a play and exploration of technique that show the spirit of the hand that brought it to life.
