Call for Artists and Dessert Divas
Thursday, August 21, 2008
The Springfield Regional Arts Council, for its November 2008 exhibition at the Creamery, will feature the Culinary Arts, partnering with the Springfield-Greene County Libraries. SRAC invites all dessert divas to create cakes decorated to the max which will be exhibited at the Creamery for First Friday, Nov. 7th, with a Best of Show Prize ($100) awarded at the reception that night. In connection with the cake-decorating competition, local and regional artists are invited to submit digital jpgs of up to two paintings/artworks based on a culinary theme. These could be actual ceramic or clay cakes or veggies or paintings or photos of these, or quilts or collages of still lifes which would picture something edible or of a culinary nature. The Arts Council will make a decision as to which can be fit into the exhibition in the Creamery Exhibition Hall and the Arts Council Office Gallery. There will also be a Best of Show Prize of $100 awarded in the art category. "We are giving artists plenty of time to create these beauties," explains Sandra CH Smith, Exec. Director of SRAC. "We are hoping that the art work will look good enough to eat! But please….no real food in the art work. With so many fantastic chefs and cooks in the area, we are also hoping to see some ultra-glamorous cakes in the competition." Deadline to submit the jpgs of the artwork is October 7th and they should be emailed to Sandra@SpringfieldArts.org. Anyone interested in entering the cake-decorating competition, please send an email to that effect and we will send you details and an application as soon as they are hot off the press. Questions? Email only, please, to Sandra@SpringfieldArts.org
