Asheville, N.C. – “Interpretation of the Truffle” is a national juried exhibition featuring artwork in a variety of media that have one thing in common — they are all inspired by the resplendent truffle.
Possible themes:
- From the farm to the feast. The quest. The cultivation. The conquest. Harvesting and trading.
- The truffle’s size, aroma, color, texture – is there a perfect truffle?
- Cooking with truffles. In the kitchen. The sliver. The dish. The ultimate fantasy meal.
- Historic and/or futuristic interpretations: the grower, the chef, the aficionados’ perspective.
- The future of the truffle in North Carolina and the introduction of The Ramble at Biltmore Farm-grown truffle.
The juried exhibition is open to anyone with a flair for creativity and the talent to transform an original concept into a compelling piece of art that can be shared with a public audience. Registration is free and open to artists nationwide through February 6, 2009.
Sculptures, paintings, digital/graphic designs and various forms of mixed media will all be considered. No performance art. Registration forms and details can be obtained at http://www.NationalTruffleFest.com. If your submission is accepted, you will be in contention for the National exhibit. Submissions will be auctioned off in a “SILENT” format with all proceeds going to the “Grow for Good” campaign sponsored by American Express.
Please include a 3X5 card with your name, the title of the art, your website address, and contact information.
