This series is all set to turn your Wednesdays into a mini celebration of local fare and artistic flair!
What’s Cooking Every Wednesday?
Starting from 11:00 AM to 1:30 PM throughout the month of October, participants can stroll over to The Grove, the beautiful outdoor space at GPAC, where the magic will unfold. This is no ordinary lunch – local food trucks will be dishing out a smorgasbord of deliciousness every week! So grab your pals, pack your favorite picnic blanket, and make it a lunch date to remember.
Art on Display!
But wait, there’s more! While you munch on mouthwatering eats, be sure to feast your eyes on an exciting lineup of music and dance films projected on an impressive 18′ by 31.2′ HD screen at the Highland Capital Stage. And don’t worry about the cost – admission is totally free! So there’s no excuse not to come out and support local talent.
Meet the Artists
Each week, GPAC will spotlight a different local creator. Think of it as a mini art fair that also serves up scrumptious food. One participant to look forward to is artist Jasmine Hirt, known for her spooktacular pen and ink illustrations that are perfect for the fall season. Who wouldn’t want to snag a piece of original art to hang at home while also enjoying a tasty lunch?
The event will showcase various types of art as well, from colorful paintings and detailed drawings to handmade jewelry, textiles, and sculptures. It’s a great opportunity to get to know the talented people in your community and perhaps even take home a unique piece of art. Don’t worry if you see something you love; contact information will be readily available so you can follow up on potential purchases!
A Celebration of Community
Germantown is all about coming together, and this event does just that. It’s a chance for local residents to connect with one another while enjoying the creativity and flavors that the community has to offer. When you’re seated at The Grove, you’re not just having lunch; you’re part of a celebration that highlights everything wonderful about living here.
School Upgrades and New Beginnings
Looking Forward
The new performing arts center is under construction, and it’s all hands on deck with JBHM Architecture and AnderCorp leading the charge. It’s exciting to see how Germantown is investing in its future. The students will have access to fantastic resources, nurturing their creativity just like the budding artists featured at the ‘Appetite for the Arts’ event.
So there you have it, Germantown! Mark your calendars, grab those picnic baskets, and head over to GPAC this October to experience the delightful fusion of art and food. Let’s celebrate our vibrant community together!
