Creativity and cuisine will collide at The Carnegie's Art of Food

Visual artists and some of the finest chefs in the Tri-State will join together at the end of this month for the opening reception of The Carnegie’s annual exhibition The Art of Food.
 
“This is the seventh year we’ve been doing it, and it’s really great,” says Katie Brass, executive director at The Carnegie. “There’s a lot of stuff you can build on, whether it’s cookware or utensils or wine glasses. We’ve had some amazing art come out of this. “
 
In addition to cookware and utensils, edible designs and creative dishes will fill all six of The Carnegie’s galleries, with creations from chefs ranging in specialties represented.
 
Seasonal foods from Eat Well and hand-crafted delights from Chocolats Latour are just a couple of the local eateries to be showcased at the culinary art show.
 
For Brass, though, The Art of Food is more than a display of unique art forms. It’s a community experience.
 
“Our gallery opening—just like when you sit down and eat—you’re with friends, and you sit down at the table, and you’re having this wonderful time,” Brass says. “And it all revolves around food—and that was the basis for this.”
 
The Art of Food opens February 28 at 6 p.m. and runs through March 16.
