Butterfield Garage Art Gallery, 137 King St., St. Augustine, is hosting its fourth annual Open Community Art Project as a way to celebrate art in the community. Anyone interested is invited to celebrate creativity by creating and exhibiting artworks that speak to the concept “Art of Food.” Any one, any age can participate.
What do you love most about food? Is it how your favorite coffee smells in the morning, the vibrant colors at a farmers’ market or the growing of food itself? Perhaps it’s the social camaraderie, food artistically presented on the plate or prepping in the kitchen. Be as creative as you like in your interpretation.
Draw it, paint it, collage it — any medium. Canvases and entry forms can be picked up at Butterfield Garage Art Gallery. Entry fee is $10 per entry and includes an 8-by-8 inch canvas. Works created with materials other than the canvas supplied must conform to the 8-by-8 inch dimensions.
Entry forms are available at the gallery, or on the Butterfield Garage website butterfieldgarage.com. The gallery is open every day 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
All entries must be received at Butterfield Garage Art Gallery no later than April 27. The exhibit opening reception will take place on May 1, and the exhibit will continue through May 31. Artists decide whether their work will be for sale. Butterfield Garage will handle any sales and will retain a 15% fee.
