Description:
The Perspective Gallery presents an Art Reception for "Along the Spice Route" on Friday, September 1, 2017 located within the Squires Student Center at Virginia Tech.

Come by and meet the artists who created these amazing pieces.

"Along the Spice Route", curated by Paula Golden and Ann Reardon, is an exhibit of 41 wall-quilts designed and created by 41 artists interpreting a spice used in cooking today and showing something about its country of origin. In addition to the artistic interpretation of a spice, the goal of the exhibit is to provide education on the origins of spices and the importance of early trade routes and the connection between countries.

The artists in this exhibit have interesting and varied career and educational backgrounds. Gallery programming will include an artist’s lecture, art reception, several community tables where a food sharing experience based on the spices in this exhibit are explored in a culinary setting.

Light food and refreshments will be served highlighting spices that are represented in this exhibit.

Admission is free and open to the public.
