Project Winterfood will feature an art exhibition made up of work celebrating three winter foods: apples, spinach and sweet potatoes. The artwork has been donated by local artists and will be on sale during the exhibition at Gallery 5 throughout the month of December. All proceeds from the sale of the artwork will go to benefit non-profits that make a positive difference in the Richmond community.

A gathering of partners involved in the Richmond area food community will be on hand to answer questions and share information about local food options, resources, and benefits. Visitors will be able learn more about area farms as well as restaurants that use locally-sourced ingredients. The community partners will include the Farm to Family Veggie Bus, Dominion Harvest, and many more to be announced closer to the event.

During the event there will be live fiddle music; sample and tasting booths; and delicious coffee provided by Rostov’s Coffee & Tea. A complimentary take-home brochure will be available designed by Project Winterfood--containing information & resources as well as recipes featuring the three winter foods.

Project Winterfood is comprised of  VCU students who participate in Noah Scalin’s Design Rebels course that emphasizes making a positive difference in the Richmond community through graphic design.
