Two works from local sculptor, Jan Kirsh, will be part of Salisbury University Galleries’ Palette: A Juried Food Art Exhibition, featuring artists who use food as subject, material, or content. Kirsh’s Avocado Half and Little Birds were selected for inclusion in the exhibition which runs January 29 through February 21, 2014.
Palette organizers remark, “As another form of muse, food has been the passion of internationally renowned artists throughout the ages who have used it to celebrate life within their paintings, sculptures, photographs, and videos for years.” In addition to her work as a landscape designer, Kirsh has, for the past decade, been creating a collection of fruit and vegetable sculpture. In both instances, Kirsh says, she strives to “reflect back to us the intimate wonder of nature.”
In conjunction with the exhibition, there will be a one-night tasting event on the final day of the show, from 5 to 7 PM. Chefs from all over the Eastern Shore will create artwork and tasting plates as part of this gustatory celebration. Pre-sale tickets are $30 or $35 at the door. Following the tasting event, from 7 – 8 PM, the gallery will be open to the public free of charge.
The downtown gallery, at 118 and 120 North Division Streets in Salisbury, is regularly open Wednesday to Friday, from 12 PM to 6 PM, and Saturdays from 12 PM to 4 PM. Other times are available by appointment.
