First Annual "Broad Appétit" Food and Art Celebration
Sunday, May 18
100-300 blocks of West Broad Street, Downtown
12:00pm - 5:00pm
The first annual Broad Appétit Food Festival will feature Richmond's
favorite food purveyors, restaurants, chefs, cart vendors and artisans.
The event is Free to the public and is designed to feed one's mind,
soul and body with an eclectic mix of crafts and art, offerings from
twenty-five of Richmond's favorite chefs, and a huge kid's area
complete with original food-related entertainment and cool activities.
A performing arts stage will host musical acts, unique food artists,
and special appearances. Our nation's leading Bug Chefs, David George
Gordon, Bug Chef from Seattle, Washington and David Gracer, Bug Chef
from Providence, Rhode Island will compete, thrill and mesmerize the
crowds with their ability to make grasshoppers and snails into a meal.
Broad Appétit is excited to launch the Annual "To Die For" Contest to
be battled out between 25 top Richmond chefs in the streets of
downtown. The award will go to the chef who prepares the most
delectable item on the event menu.
The WHODUNNIT? Secret Art Show is an invitational exhibition of work by
75 artists. All exhibited works will be originals in a 6" x 9" format
and will sell for the fixed price of $50. The name of the artist for
each work is kept secret during the exhibition, only to be revealed at
the completion of the sale. On May 18, the work will be sold at Quirk
Gallery during Broad Appétit. Whether the piece is by a well-known or
emerging artist is anyone's guess!
