Eat Drink Read Write – Children’s Adventurous Food Art Reception

Delve into the minds of local children’s interpretations of adventurous food through this juried exhibit of artwork located in the First Floor Gallery at the Central Library. The Junior League of Birmingham’s Project Yummy Van will provide healthy snacks and educate the young attendees on healthy eating and skills useful in the kitchen. 

This year’s Eat Drink Read Write (EDRW) festival is dedicated to the idea that taking a risk and seeking out adventurous foods can result in great culinary experiences. Whether it is trying a Thai restaurant located in a gas station, buying ribs that have been cooked in a 55 gallon steel drum smoker in a parking lot, or foraging for wild blackberries along an old fence line, there are countless opportunities for culinary adventure in our daily lives. This year’s Eat Drink Read Write appeals to a variety of tastes and unites food, culinary arts, and literature in an engaging format for the entertainment and enrichment of the entire community. EDRW will end on Friday, October 7, with a Bards & Brews Slam! and beer sampling at the Central Library.
