What happens when you take locally grown fresh produce and mix in one artist, several poets, and an art center? Slow Food Coshocton is participating in a creative endeavor with local farmer/vendors at Local Bounty; former Coshocton resident and artist Stephanie Revennaugh; local poets Robin Mullet and Holli Rainwater, among others; and the Pomerene Center for the Arts.
This is how it works: Over the next several months, “care packages” of locally produced food will be mailed to Revennaugh who now lives in Montana. She will create a painting of the food. In the meantime, local poets will write poems inspired by the food items. The whole project will culminate in September with an art show/poetry reading/dinner at the Pomerene Center for the Arts.
One painting and a few poems have already been created. Revennaugh will be posting the finished paintings on her Facebook page. She is also asking for help in naming the paintings.
