From Scratch: An Art Exhibit About Food

From Scratch is an art exhibit celebrating food in all its forms, whether as a source of joy, a cultural touchstone, or a symbol of shared experiences. We’re especially interested in works that portray growing, harvesting, cooking, or eating, exploring food’s connection to identity, tradition, indulgence, and even humor. 

There will be a special award from Urban Seeds for artwork that highlights the beauty and significance of fresh, local ingredients and agriculture. Please review their website and check out the programs they offer. Local food is for everyone! If you wish to submit art, visit our Calls for Art page.

• FREE Shop Small bags, buttons, and maps will be distributed in front of 318 Main Street beginning at 10 AM (while quantities last)

Thanks to a sponsorship from The Scout Guide Evansville, we will be giving away $500 in Downtown Evansville e-Gift Cards on Small Business Saturday. Shoppers who participate in our Shop Small Passport will be entered to win.

How it works:
When shoppers make a purchase at any of the 10 participating locations, they will receive a stamp on their passport from that business. Each stamp is one entry to win a gift card to a Downtown business. The more stamps a shopper receives on their passport, the more entries they will have to win Downtown Evansville e-Gift Cards. 

RETAILER HOURS AND SALES WILL VARY PER LOCATION.
