Over the past five years, the Zenith Community Arts Foundation’s (ZCAF) annual Food Glorious Food program has helped support the Capital Area Food Bank to feed the hungry in our community. ZCAF would like to invite Murch school and other DCP Schools to participate in our first Food Glorious School Food Art Contest to support and promote our Sustainable theme. We invite your students to produce a work of art made with fruits & vegetables, we will encourage your students to have creative fun and think healthy. The winning student artist/s will have their art work turned into a painted mural at their school. Any student or team of students can submit an entry. The work can be done at home or in school but it must be professionally photographed in-school by CityYear and submitted by the art teacher before Nov 22nd. Also, taking candid photos of the creative process will be wonderful too.
