Project Winterfood

Project Winterfood made the front page of the Commonwealth Times! Pick up a copy at the VCU Library. You can also find us featured in Urban Views, and the ALR blog has a nice entry with photos from the event.

If you missed our opening at 1509 W. Main, don’t fear! You can still visit Project Winterfood at Gallery 5 through the month of December. There is still artwork to be sold so please drop by and buy a piece for only $5-$15 to benefit the Central Virginia Foodbank & Gallery 5 who needs help for a new roof!

E-mail us at info@winterfood.org if you have any questions. Have a great Winter!

SOME MORE HERE!

The Winterfood opening was a GREAT success! Thank you so much to everybody who came out and participated despite the crazy rainstorm! In case you missed it, you can still view & purchase the art at Gallery 5 this Friday and through December! Make sure to get there early to get best dibs on the artwork. The Farm to Family Veggie bus will be there as well so pick up some yummy produce!

Here’s some photos from our event. Hope to see you Friday if you missed it!

The day is almost here! Project Winterfood is tomorrow night, Dec. 2 from 7pm-10pm at 1509 W. Main St! Please come out for great art, local foods, local music and a raffle. The event is FREE, but bring a couple dollars with you if you wish to purchase some art (and you will want to). Hope to see you all there!

While you’re waiting for this great event, please check out our entry on Osocio:

Greetings! This week we are excited to share with you our feature on rvanews!
