In the words of Marie Antoinette let them eat cake! And that’s exactly what comes to mind to describe Edible Masterpieces the new fundraising initiative from the Art Fund.
The Art Fund are looking for the public to organize cookery challenges or events on and around Friday 9 May 2014, to see who can create the greatest edible masterpieces inspired by their favoured artwork or cultural icon be it Dali or the Colosseum.
The top 25 creators will be lucky enough to be entered into a competition, giving them a chance to win some exhilarating prizes and the money raised by participants will go towards supporting UK museums and galleries, helping them to provide world class art for everyone to enjoy whether it’s the Picassos at the National Museum Wales or the Titians at the National Galleries of Scotland and the National Gallery.
Share your creations with the world using Instagram, Facebook and Twitter using the hashtag #ediblemasterpieces.
Entrants can register and obtain their Edible Masterpieces fundraising packs, full of recipes and inspiration, from www.artfund.org/edible from today, 20 February 2014.
