About
Overview
"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. This juried exhibition features 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. If it involves food—or is inspired by it—curators want to see it.
