We invite you to contribute to our exhibit “Food for Thought” at The Confluence. The show will run August 25 – October 3. The Call is open May 1 – June 17.

Food is a daily necessity—but it’s also so much more. It nourishes not only our bodies but our identities, traditions, and values. Across cultures and histories, food has served as a powerful symbol—appearing in classical still lifes, becoming a statement in art movements like Pop Art through works like Andy Warhol’s Campbell’s Soup cans, and continuing to spark conversation today. Food is also inherently political: how it’s grown, sourced, and consumed invites deeper questions about sustainability, labor, and equity. This exhibition seeks to bring together a diverse range of 2D, 3D and digital artworks that explore the many roles food plays in our lives—personal, cultural, aesthetic, and political.
