FOOD FOR THOUGHT – DC-metro open call exhibit
MARCH 7th through April 16th, 2015
Washington, DC is no longer an up-and-coming foodie town. We’ve arrived.

From humble vegetables, to fish from the sea we are looking for 2-d and 3-d works of art that creatively capture the ever popular topic of food.
You must 18 years old to enter, and be able to get your work to the CHAW Gallery to be eligible to enter. (No mailed or UPS-delivered work accepted.)
