The art gallery of the Bunker Hill Community College in Boston is hosting the Eat the Art Exhibit. The group show brings together a lot of artwork on the theme of food as art, featuring pieces in a variety of media from 42 different artists including Virginia Fitzgerald’s “Clementine Dress,” doughnut sculptures by Alice Abrams, paintings by Vanessa St. Laurent, and photographs by Laura Miner.
The Eat the Art Exhibit features jellybean sculptures and gummy bear photographs that are sure to give a sugar rush, but it’s the doughnut sculptures that have the drool escaping from my mouth. Check out a handful of images in the gallery above, courtesy of Eat Me Daily, and be sure to see their coverage for even more multimedia.
