Food (like Art) brings us Joy and Nourishment! From the simple things, like a sweet-treat or a special meal shared between loved ones, food is instilled in our daily lives. It provides us not only with sustenance, but with symbols of our culture we can cherish and share with others.
Celebrate “food as art” and “art as food” this Spring at Leanna Lin’s Wonderland for our first group art show with the local Arroyo Arts Collective. The Joy of Food curated by Shirley Huang (allthingswillbe) has 20 eclectic Los Angles artists, creating a banquet of mixed media artful delights on our main gallery wall.
