Coquette Cornucopia

Call-out to Artists:

This exhibition invites artists and culinary creators to explore the profound connections between food, rituals, and sculpture in contemporary art. Centered on the symbolism and themes of celebratory gatherings, tablescapes, and “breaking bread,” the show examines how objects and rituals surrounding food embody cultural memory, tradition, and creativity. 

Artists are encouraged to challenge boundaries between function and form, submitting works that reflect the textures, shapes, and gestures tied to communal dining & gatherings. From sculptural tableware that merges practicality with artistry to non-functional art works evoking the essence of celebration, this exhibition will celebrate the tactile and symbolic aspects of food and art. Complementing the selected artworks, curated culinary installations and ceremonies will be selected and immerse audiences in sensory experiences, fostering dialogue between the visual and the edible. 

By blending art and ritual, the exhibition seeks to inspire meaningful connections, honouring the enduring role of food as both sustenance and a vessel for storytelling. Selected artworks and culinary installations will be curated to create a warm welcoming atmosphere involving various tablescapes and adjacently themed displays.
