The Islip Arts Council, in proud partnership with the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County, is seeking artwork for the second annual “Art of Healthy Eating” exhibition at the Islip Arts Council Gallery. This call is aimed at high school students, but adults 18 and older may also enter. This creative challenge seeks to highlight the mission and vision of the SNAP-ED Program, urging participants to produce works that resonate with the program’s commitment to nutritional education and healthy living.
Artists are called upon to explore and express themes of health, nutrition, and community well-being. Artwork should emphasize the significance of informed food choices and the adoption of healthier eating patterns.
