Visiting Artists? Project Winterfood show

Not specifically a visiting artist per-say, but the event exhibited a number of excellent student submissions to raise awareness of the importance in buying local. The project targeted three foods that will be locally available this winter: apples, sweet potatoes, and spinach, yum! Seriously though I like that stuff, and since my photography has taken such an environmental approach this semester I've been trying to start doing more things like buying local produce and taking action with local environmental groups. So needless to say I was excited to attend the show, which was incredibly well put together by a group of graphic design students. There was local music, local produce to eat and buy, recipe's, fliers for farmers markets in the area, and a great selection of artwork based around the theme. The event was at 1509 W Main, but the artwork will be displayed throughout December in Gallery5. Below are images from their website along with a few cell phone shots I grabbed of some of the pieces I really liked.
