Public Event - Spiced Kinship : A welcoming week collaboration with IAC
Spiced Kinship is pleased to be partnering with the India Association of Charlotte - Visual Art Gallery team for a lively discussion about regional food culture in India and an incredible food collage created by 18 local Charlotte artists during the pandemic. 

"This is a celebration through art of diverse delicacies from different kitchens and food traditions. The artists used a banana leaf as a theme to place their favorite food art on. 18 artists worked together and shared their specialty food art using watercolors, acrylic, mixed media, color pencils and clay work." - Rupam Varma, artist
