SHARE THE BOUNTY: The Art of Food

a benefit for the

The New Studio for the Visual Arts is very excited to partner with the Palm Beach County Food Bank to present, SHARE THE BOUNTY: The Art of Food. This unique event will showcase the artist’s creative interpretation of food. Partial proceeds of sales during this exhibition will help feed the countless hungry children and adults in our community and present an opportunity for the delivery of non-perishable food items to The Studio for the Visual Arts.

The artists desire to create and share their creation is intrinsic to the personality of an artist, just as the need for food is intrinsic to the human body. “SHARE THE BOUTNY: The Art of Food” helps to satisfy both – an opportunity for artists to share their work and talent; and to provide food to those in most need.
