H U N G E R

With diet as a way of life for many in our culture, we’ve been taught that one should 

Eat to Live. We've forgotten that from the 18th through the early 20th century, being 

fat was a sign of health, prosperity, and an attraction at a time when food was scarce 

and many went hungry. Hunger, in all its metaphorical forms, is part of our personal 

and public conversation. Many of us struggle with HUNGER, and yearn for the 

pleasure of food, love, possessions, control, sex or POWER.

 

If your work deals with HUNGER, choose five of your best shots.  Twenty-four works 

will be selected for an on-line crafthaus.com exhibition curated by Alice Simpson; to

broaden the conversation to include other artists’ voices and visions on the subject 

of HUNGER.

 

LET THE CONVERSATION BEGIN!

 

Work in ALL MEDIA is encouraged.  Twenty-four selected work will be highlighted for

one month on-line at crafthaus.com, and then become part of Past Online Exhibits. 

Curator’s selections will be made based on the relationship of the work to the theme

of HUNGER.

inspired by performance, music, dance, and human expression. After a rewarding career as
