23 Sandy Gallery hosts two juried exhibitions each year. These are the gallery’s two BIG events of the year and are always a huge draw for gallery visitors, both in person and online. As the gallery celebrates its six-year anniversary we are very exciting to present our first juried show of the year, FEAST! The book arts offer a banquet of materials, mediums and structures. Food offers a smorgasbord of ideas for the artist. Mix up generous servings of food and art and you have a sumptuous feast called book arts. This show features 46 food-related unique and limited edition artist books and broadsides by 43 artists. Food can play many roles in the book arts: cook books, memories  of food and family, books about food issues such as hunger, sustainability or tales of the locavore. Go forth and feast on this big wide world of food inspiration.

FEAST! is accompanied by a full color print catalog.
