Join us for the opening reception for The Art of Food: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation. Featuring more than 100 works ranging from drawings, paintings, photographs, prints, sculptures, and ceramics by 38 artists such as John Baldessari, Enrique Chagoya, Alex Katz, Alison Saar, Lorna Simpson, Andy Warhol, and four Oregon-based artists, Katherine Ace, Chris Antemann, Malia Jensen, and Sherrie Wolf, The Art of Food showcases how some of the most prominent artists of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries have considered this universal subject. Organized thematically, it uses an artistic lens to examine the subject of food beyond its purpose as body fuel.

The reception is free and open to the public. 

We are excited to support the PSU Food Pantry at this event. Visitors are encouraged to make a financial donation online if they have the capacity. Link: https://sites.google.com/pdx.edu/psufoodpantry/donate
