Era Living CALL FOR ART
Instructions for Email Submission
BOUNTIFUL
Bountiful is a celebration and introspection about food – our relationship to it, be it of love, maybe struggle, but necessary sustenance in our daily lives. It has a power in bringing us together sharing and enriching us, then it is a defining line separating the less fortunate who are left hungry. Food defines cultures whether it be exotic spices, kosher restrictions or a fast food culture. It defines individuals in their food choices of raw vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian, omnivore, organic, and on and on.
