Month: April 2024

Come Take a Bite With Us at this Exciting Food Art Talk & Show!

April 26, 2024 by Beverly

I hope you can join us for my Bitesize View of Food in Art Talk and Solo Art Exhibit at the Scarsdale Public Library on May 7th from 4:30-6pm (54 Olmsted Road, Scarsdale, NY 10583).

This is a chef’s tour of food in art history from prehistoric and ancient times, the Golden Age of Dutch Still Life, to contemporary art. All in 45 minutes. So are you up for the challenge? I promise it will be entertaining. Only I’ll put on my artist’s beret instead of a chef’s cap. Plus I’ll tap into my aspirations to be an art history professor.

Along the way you’ll see how I view my own work in this context.

A reception will follow the talk. While the official event ends at 6pm, I’ll hang out at the library until 6:30pm.

The exhibit will run from Wednesday, May 1 through Wednesday, May 22.

Registration

Click here to register and scroll down to the bottom. Select your preferred option. Note you can come back and change this if needed, or re-register.

While we are asking you to register, please don’t let this stop you from coming the last minute. Just come right over. The more, the merrier! If you don’t receive the zoom link by 3:30pm on May 7th, please call the Scarsdale Library Reference Desk at 914-722-1302. They will email the link directly to you.

Parking

It’s plentiful!

With Gratitude

Thank you to the Scarsdale Public Library for hosting this event. I’ll begin with a shoutout to a very special lady and friend, Claudette Gassler, Programing Librarian. A year ago, Claudette came up with the idea of a combination talk and solo show. And she waited patiently for my torn meniscus to heal. In addition, thanks to Roberta Ham-Stein, Support Services Administrator/Librarian who helped coordinate the logistics. Last but not least, kudos to David Sadoff, Programming Librarian, who creatively used his tech abilities to make this a hybrid event and bring me out from behind the podium, onto the stage, and into my comfort zone.

Now I would be remiss if I didn’t thank my daughter, Bonnie Sloofman. After a hard day’s work, she is providing refreshments following the talk at the reception.

As always, I appreciate hearing from you. So please let me know if you have any questions, comments or ideas about the topic.

I look forward to seeing you – one way or another – on Tuesday, May 7th at 4:30pm!

This is a website about art, food and life - with dash of art history.

In my blog, I focus on the process of making art in general and creating dessert paintings specifically, while sharing my ongoing quest for new bites of life.
