One of our very favorite shows of the year is Savor, which we lovingly refer to as the “Food Show”. Part of savoring your food is making positive connections to emotions and slowing down to enjoy your food and your environment.
Food is the universal language unto itself. It engages all of our senses and provides us with a shared experience, connecting us with strangers and loved ones. From the way food is cooked to the way it’s served, this art form can stirs our souls evoking memories of good times or bad. We hope Savor inspires you to explore the connections you have with food and the beauty it brings to your life.
Thank you to Jennifer Schneider for being our juror for the Savor exhibit!
“It was such a pleasure to be chosen as the juror for Savor! There were so many great entries it was difficult to choose who would be included in the exhibition. The awardees selected submitted works that activated and intertwined the senses. We can savor our food experiences with a collaboration of the senses, and this helps us better understand and connect to the world we live in. Such beauty, decadence, and mouthwatering craftsmanship.
A big thank you to all who entered the show and best wishes, Jennifer Schneider
Sweet Tooth, Leann Porrello,
Donut Splash, Diane Epstein,
Cherry Cordial, Cheryl Hardy,
Congratulations to our Savor Award Winners!
1st Place: "Sweet Tooth" by Leann Porello is at first an unassuming documentation of an ear of flint or heirloom corn, but on closer inspection we see that it is lined with teeth. This clever photograph is at once alarming and entertaining. Imagine biting into hard corn on the cob, getting corn kernels stuck in your teeth, or even the physical nature of milling corn for cornmeal, or in this case grinding your teeth! Savor those sensations! - JS
2nd Place: "Donut Splash" by Diane Epstein is a dynamic, colorful and playful sculpture. Why not enjoy a donut with a glass of milk, hear it splash, and wait for the mess as savor your inner child! - JS
3rd Place: "Cherry Cordial" by Cheryl Hardy perfectly captures what it’s like to just take one bite and out the sticky syrup oozes … down the picture plane. This small composition is a burst of flavor to savor, an intimate experience to relish! - JS

Honorable Mention: "Singular Snack Station" by Ira Papick
