Wickford Art partners with edible Rhody for FOODWORKS
North Kingstown (RI) – On September 10th, Wickford Art Association (WAA) launches an exhibit that celebrates Rhode Island’s diverse, vibrant and resilient food economy through FoodWorks. With assistance from edible Rhody editor Eugenie Trevor, food-industry partners were identified last winter who then welcomed a team of photographers from Wickford Art on-site. Through an application process, 16 photographers were selected by John Robson – https://www.johnrobson.photography a free-lance photographer from Colorado who often works with edible Communities. Each photographer has captured dynamic photography at one or two sites across the region and will display a sampling of their work in the FoodWorks exhibit opening Friday- September 10 at the WAA Gallery in North Kingstown. Robson will select works for cash prizes from the offerings and all work will be available for sale.
With additional coverage through edible Rhody all summer long on both their print and digital platforms:
Wickford Art will also launch a virtual gallery for full viewing access to the community and the full collection can be seen in-gallery September 10 through October 3 with hours of Wed-Sat (noon-4pm) and Sun (noon-3pm). More information is always available through WAA social media; find us @wickfordartassociation (Facebook), @wickfordart (Instagram & Twitter).
