Part 3 of 3 of the Good Enough to Eat: the Fusion of Food and Craft series
The Craft in America Center tops off its series of exhibitions focusing on the intersection of contemporary craft and food culture with, Good Enough to Eat: Food as Medium for Craft, which will showcase art that is made of, or incorporates, edible substances. The most unconventional group of work from the three-part series, the selected artists use food to surprise and beguile. The show is a chance to look at what we eat from an entirely fresh perspective.
