Salty - A foodART Exhibition

salty food/ART exhibit featured in March

Salty foodART Exhibition is a collaborative between Outer Banks Epicurean, a local culinary business, and Dare County Arts Council. The event will be held at Dare County Arts Council Gallery in Manteo and Amy Huggins, owner of Outer Banks Epicurean, will curate the show. There is no fee to attend the exhibit, which will be on display through the month of March.

The inspiration for this exhibit is from Dare County Restaurant Association’s annual Taste of the Beach Weekend. Salty foodART Exhibition will feature artwork inspired by food, eating and all things culinary.  Invitations were extended to local artists to exhibit their own culinary art. Pottery, Glass, Textiles, Photographs, Paintings, Metal, Wood, New Media and more will be represented. These highly accredited and internationally collected artists who will be exhibited all live on the Outer Banks.

The groups will be hosting two receptions introducing the Salty artists.  The public is invited to both events.

• DCAC hosts the First Friday Opening Reception on March 5, 6-8 pm. This is always a lively gathering which includes light fare, libations and often live music.
• Thursday, March 11, Outer Banks Epicurean hosts Amuse Bouche: A Collector’s Reception from 6 – 8pm.  It is presented for serious art collectors and art buyers who are interested in purchasing original artwork.

Both receptions will be held at the DCAC Gallery, located at 104 Sir Walter Raleigh Street in Downtown Manteo.

In support of the local culinary arts, a Salty themed collection jar for the Dare County Arts Council’s Scholarship Fund, which now includes the culinary arts, will be on display throughout the exhibition.
