food for art

North Tahoe Arts’ month-long celebration of slow food and the return of local farmers markets is in full swing. In addition to food/farm-inspired artwork on display, the Tahoe City gallery hosts speakers like Dan Macon of Flying Mule Farm (tomorrow, June 11), Gary Romano of Sierra Valley Farms and Mark Estee of Moody’s. I am particularly excited about the AGROart event on Thursday June 25, where artists will construct sculptures using produce from 10am to 2pm. Reminds me of an old-favorite book: How are you Peeling? Foods with Moods by Saxton Freymann and Joost Elffers. For the full schedule of events, check out the North Tahoe Arts website.
