EAT!

J. Mane Gallery invites submissions for its Eat online juried art exhibition.  

Food is essential to our survival. It is also one of the great pleasures in life. It's no surprise then that fruit, vegetables, meat, and drink have been common motifs in painting and sculpture from the Roman-era until today.

For this competition, artists were encouraged to share their artistic vision and interpretation of food and eating.  The artwork varied from realism to surrealism to abstraction. All artists over the age of 18, regardless of location or experience, were encouraged to submit their best inspired work.
