8th Annual Feast for the Eyes Juried Exhibition

Friday April 9, 2010 opening gala and Awards Ceremony from 7- 9 pm

"This exhibition features arts and crafts of emerging artists of all fine art mediums from Bruce and Grey counties, this unique exhibition, featuring the arts and crafts of emerging artists of all fine art mediums from Bruce and Grey Counties, serves as a venue for the development of regional artists while providing an opportunity for a vital community fund-raiser.

Feast for the Eyes links the mental, creative and spiritual benefits of art to another aspect of our basic needs: food for the hungry in our community. All artists who submit artwork to the jury for consideration are asked to donate a non-perishable food item to benefit the local food bank. All visitors to the gala and month long exhibition are also asked to donate a non-perishable food item for the community’s hungry.

Additionally, the opening night gala’s silent auction will raise funds for Southampton Arts Society, a registered charity founded in 1957, as well as the food bank. Bid to your heart’s content on fine art, gift baskets, gift certificates, giftware and collectibles with a “foodie” theme, to help bring awareness of the importance of the community food bank. Refreshments will be served and are sponsored by Harrigan’s 100 Mile Market/Red & White Store, Southampton."
