AMP: Artists' Meeting Place and Resource Collective

Umami food and art festival is planning our 2011 Gala Fundraiser.
We will be screening a sneak peek of the experimental video by Terri Hanlon
Meringue Diplomacy inspired by the life of Antonin Carême, the recognized
founder of French Grande Cuisine

We would like to see Carême’s ideas about edible architectural brought to
their (il)logical conclusion, so we're asking professionals (both culinary
and architectural) and lovers of Art and the Culinary Arts to make us
sketches of the most wonderful edible structures you can imagine. We’ll
display these at Astor Center, on March 28th, as part of our Gala event.

Works can be "in the style" of Carême, or can appropriate his ideas in a
contemporary interpretation. Think "images of towering confections,
flambéed" or "Green architecture constructed with edible micro-greens"
...the sky's the limit.

Sketches can include: inspired doodles on napkins, xeroxed pages from
notebooks, poetic notes or drawings/paintings/photographs/etc.

If you (or a friend) would like to take advantage of a unique opportunity to
experiment and work across disciplines and have your work presented to a
unique audience of art aficionados, discerning diners, and culinary
professionals, please email your sketch or contact me and I'll arrange to
pick it up! Deadline March 15.
