Broad Appetit - This Sunday - June 7th

Event Schedule

Broad Appetit is Richmond's burgeoning Food Festival. Last year was a huge success, despite the rain. 7,500 people turned out relieving the vendors of all their food. This year there will be more vendors, more food and more fun. Bring your appetite and get a taste of what Richmond has to offer.

• WHODUNNIT? Art Exhibition
  Ghostprint Gallery (noon - 5pm)
  
  Whodunnit? is an invitational exhibition of work by 125 artists. All exhibited works will be originals in a 6" x 9" or smaller format and will sell for the fixed price of $50.00 (all work will be signed on the back; anonymity is the key). The name of the artist for each work is kept secret during the exhibition, only to be revealed at the completion of the sale. The work will be on view during First Fridays Artwalk on June 5, 2009 and gallery hours on Saturday. On Sunday, June 7, the work will be sold at Ghostprint Gallery (noon - 5pm) during Broad Appétit. Whether the piece is by a well-known or emerging artist is anyone's guess. Participating artists will be eligible to receive the funds raised for a public art project for the neighborhood.
