Coffee Talk: Who will be participating in Menu: Invitational Edible Elements of Art?

What is art? I’ve had people ask me that question humorously and with a very serious tone. I’ve had folks say that West Coast artists don’t have a clue; East Coast is where the art scene is. I’ve had others tell me Europe is still the only place where real art is made. I live on the West Coast. The Pacific North West to be exact. What does that mean? Nothing, just where I live. There is good art and bad are here too. Just like Europe and the East Coast.

Coming up in May is an invitational that draws together artists from both coasts and the world. You may not know what art is. You may not know what good art vs. bad art is. You may be an art connoisseur extraordinaire! Regardless of whom you are or what you know about art; let me tell you that this show will be fun! You may learn a bit about art and our culture too!

I’ve mentioned this show in a previous entry in more detail. I just wanted to post some Web site of the very talented artists who will be participating in this invitational. Enjoy browsing and I hope to see you at the show!
