The Art Fund is looking to raise money for edible art exhibits. While art is always great, an entire edible art exhibit is the icing on the cake -- literally. The pseudo bake-off is asking artists and viewers alike to take part in creating art you can eat.
In an attempt to have its art and eat it too, the Art Fund is raising money for thousands of UK galleries and museums. While this seems relatively normal, the abnormality lies in the subject matter of the fundraiser. The work at hand will be as good to eat as it is to watch.
So far we have seen a Rice Krispy canvas with marshmallow and chocolate as paint and a glittering cake that resembles a skull among other works. This move is making food look artistic and art look delicious
